Preheat the oven to 200°C/gas mark 6. Peel and halve the onions. Slice into fan shapes, keeping the root end intact. Put in a roasting tray.

Turn the oven up to 220°C/gas mark 7.

Line 4 x 10cm pie tins with greaseproof paper. Place an onion half, flat side up, in each, and drizzle with any roasting juices. Roll out the pastry to 5mm thickness. Cut out 4 circles, just larger than the tins, and prick all over. Put the pastry over the onions, and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 190°C/gas mark 5 and cook for another 10 minutes. When cooked, place a plate over each tart, then invert. Serve warm or at room temperature.
