Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds small shallots (about 24), unpeeled root ends trimmed
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place ingredients in a baking pan just large enough to hold shallots in a single layer; toss to combine. Cover with foil; bake, stirring every 20 minutes, until shallots are very tender and caramelized, 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours.
