📝 Preparation Steps
1
Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 375°. Mix 6 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped, ¼ cup double-concentrated tomato paste, ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil, 3 Tbsp. paprika, 1 Tbsp. vegetable or beef bouillon paste, 2 tsp. apple cider vinegar, 2 tsp. sugar, and 2 tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1¼ tsp. Morton kosher salt, and ¾ cup water in a small bowl to combine; set garlic mixture aside.

Heat 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil in a medium cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Working in batches if needed and adding up to 1 Tbsp. more vegetable oil to pan if it looks dry at any point, arrange 2 lb. mixed onions (about 6 small), roots trimmed with ends left intact, peeled, quartered through root ends, cut side down, in pan with tongs (be careful and stand back; the oil will spatter) and season lightly with salt. Cook until charred underneath, about ⏱️ 5 minutes. If working in batches, transfer onions to a plate as you go (be gentle here; you want them to hold their shape).

Return all onions to pan if you cooked them in batches and arrange so cut sides are facing up. Add reserved garlic mixture and shake pan gently to settle sauce. Bake in oven until onions are very tender and oil begins to separate from tomato paste, 30–⏱️ 40 minutes. Scatter dill sprigs and parsley leaves with tender stems over onions to serve.
