Scrape the stems of the onions well at the base, but do not cut them off. Peel the onions, making sure to keep the stalks on top. Pre-cook the onions in boiling, salted water for about 7-8 minutes. Drain the water and let the onions become lukewarm. Arrange them on an ovenproof dish, drizzle generously with olive oil and season with salt. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°-200° for about 30 minutes. Turn off the oven, open the oven door a crack, and let the onions stand for about 10-15 minutes. Since the outer layer of the onion dries out and becomes a bit hard, hold it with your fingers on the stalk and scrape it off between your teeth. Anything left over can be discarded with a clear conscience (just like artichoke leaves). These onions can also be enjoyed cold. In this case, you can also eat the outer layer, as it becomes crispy and breaks easily.
