PreparationFor onions: Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 425°F. Line large rimmed baking sheet with foil. Whisk first 6 ingredients in large bowl. Add onions; toss gently. Arrange onions close together, 1 cut side down, on baking sheet; spoon juices from bowl over. Roast 30 minutes. Using small spatula, carefully turn onions over.

Let stand on baking sheet at room temperature. Rewarm in 350°F oven before serving, if desired. For gremolata: Mix pomegranate seeds, parsley, and orange peel in small bowl.
