How to make Easy Caramelized Onions that are sweet, golden, and so delicious. These velvety onions are so easy to make and add a delicious burst of umami to so many recipes. Add them into soups, dips, or top on burgers or fish.

What is the difference between caramelized onions and sauteed onions. The main difference between caramelized onions and sauteed onions is the cooking time. Since caramelized onions are cooked longer and at a lower temperature, they end up being super tender and very sweet.

What oil is best for caramelizing onions? If you use extra-virgin olive oil (which is how I do it) be sure to choose a high quality oil (or even avocado oil).

RECIPE TIPS AND FAQ’S:

Should you add sugar when caramelizing onions? It is easy to get sweet caramelized onions without sugar, but adding a touch of sugar does help the caramelizing process.
