Remove foil and continue to cook for an additional 25-35 minutes, or until softened and golden in color, removing onions from the oven and tossing the onions 2-3 during cooking. If you prefer a darker color, switch the oven to broil and broil for 5 minutes - watch the onions carefully as they can easily burn!!
