1 large red onion, peeled, cut into 3/4-to 1-inch wedges through root end

1 brown-skinned onion, peeled, cut into 3/4-to 1-inch wedges through root end

Preparation

Step 1
Preheat oven to 450°F. Combine all onions and shallots in large bowl. Drizzle evenly with olive oil, then sprinkle with thyme, coarse salt, and pepper; toss gently to coat. Spread out in single layer on large rimmed baking sheet.
Step 2
Roast onions until tender and beginning to brown in spots, 25 to 30 minutes. Scatter bread pieces on another rimmed baking sheet. Bake bread until golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Cool bread on baking sheet. Arrange onions in single layer in large casserole dish. DO AHEAD: Onions and croutons can be made up to 1 day ahead. Cover onions and refrigerate.
Step 3
Store croutons in airtight container at room temperature. Bring onions to room temperature before continuing.
