How to Make Caramelized Onions 🧅✨
Rich, sweet, and perfectly golden caramelized onions – an easy way to add deep flavor to burgers, sandwiches, pizzas, and more!
📝 Ingredients:
✔️ 4 large onions
✔️ 2 tbsp olive oil
✔️ 2 tbsp butter
✔️ 1 pinch of salt
✔️ 1 pinch of sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
✔️ 1/4 cup white wine or broth (optional, for deglazing)
👩🍳 Instructions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Onions
Peel the onions and slice them thinly and evenly so they cook uniformly.
2️⃣ Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat.
The mix of oil and butter adds both flavor and a nice texture.
3️⃣ Cook the Onions
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sprinkle with salt (this helps draw out moisture).
Cook on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
4️⃣ Caramelization Process
Slowly cook the onions for 30-40 minutes. The key is patience!
If they start sticking, add a splash of water, white wine, or broth to deglaze the pan.
For a slightly sweeter flavor, add a pinch of sugar.
5️⃣ Finish & Serve
The onions are ready when they turn a deep golden brown and taste sweet.
Use them on burgers, steaks, sandwiches, pizzas, or even salads!
