Ingredient Notes

Onions – You can caramelize any onion variety, but the sweet ones are especially fantastic: Walla Walla, Mayan, Texas Sweet, Oso Sweet, Vidalia, Mayan Sweet, Maui, etc.  Keep in mind that the onions will greatly reduce in size as they cook.  I usually estimate a half an onion per person if I’m topping a burger or steak.  They’ll shrink to about half of the original volume.

Serving Suggestions

I put this batch on a chicken burger, which was delicious! They are perfect for burgers, wraps, on steak, in dips, etc. Here are a few Our Best Bites favorites with caramelized onions:

Flatbread Pizza with Spinach, Caramelized Onions, and Feta Caramelized Onion & Gruyère Strata Caramelized Onion Dip

Can I make these ahead of time? It kind of depends what you’re using your onions for. Used as a topping, they are probably best made fresh. If you are using them in something like a dip, or on a pizza that’s going in the oven, you could certainly make them ahead of time and just pop them in the fridge until ready to use!
