Method
1
Preheat oven to 320°F. Crumple and shape a sheet of aluminum foil into a round base (about 2 1/2" in diameter) that is slightly concave in the center. Place on a baking sheet and set an onion on it so that the onion stays upright. Repeat for the other onions. Bake for 45-50 minutes.

Trim the ends of the zucchini, cut into pieces and cook in boiling unsalted water for 5-6 minutes. Drain and purée with mint leaves, a pinch of salt and 1/4 cup oil for a smooth, bright sauce.

Remove onions from the oven, peel and separate into sheets. Pour some zucchini sauce on the serving plates and set the onion pieces on top. Season with salt to taste and garnish with additional fresh mint.
