Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Turn onions cut side up. Combine honey, butter, paprika, coriander, salt, and red pepper in a small bowl. Spoon half of mixture over onions. Return to oven and bake uncovered, 15 minutes more. Baste with remaining honey mixture; bake 15 minutes to 45 minutes or until tender. Serve with poultry or pork.
