Halve and peel the onion; cut into 1/2-inch-wide wedges, separating the layers. Transfer to a sheet pan. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and arrange in an even layer. Roast 15 to 17 minutes, or until lightly browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.
