Instructions
Place the onion peels and water into a saucepan and bring to a boil for about 15-30 minutes.
Allow to cool to around room temperature. Place room temperature eggs inside the saucepan with the onion peels. Ensure eggs are fully covered with water (add more if needed).
Bring to a boil and cook eggs in onion dye for about 10 minutes. Cover with lid and allow eggs to cool inside the pan. For a deeper color, keep eggs in the mixture overnight in the fridge.
Remove with a slotted spoon and allow to dry.
Gently rub the eggs with a bit of cooking oil for a nice shine. Keep the eggs refrigerated until you are ready to eat them on Easter morning.
