Scale
Ingredients
- 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp butter (or olive oil for a dairy-free option)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Heat Butter: Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat until completely melted, creating a flavorful base for the onions.
- Cook Onions: Add the thinly sliced onions to the skillet and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and become translucent.
- Add Maple Syrup: Pour the maple syrup evenly over the cooked onions, stirring to coat all the slices thoroughly with the syrup.
- Simmer and Caramelize: Reduce the heat to low and allow the onions to simmer for another 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and to ensure the onions caramelize evenly and develop a rich golden-brown color.
- Season and Serve: Finally, season the caramelized onions with salt and black pepper. Stir once more and serve warm as a delicious side or topping.
Notes
- Use olive oil instead of butter for a dairy-free version.
- Stir frequently during caramelizing to prevent burning and to achieve even color.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste at the end.
- Perfect accompaniment for burgers, steaks, or roasted vegetables.
- Can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
