2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
3/4 tsp. salt, divided
1 tbs. sugar
1 tsp. finely chopped fresh rosemary

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 400.
2. Peel onions. Cut 1/2 inch off top of onions; discard tops. Place onions, cut sides down, in a n 11 x 7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Pour 1/2 cup wine over onions.
