Slow Cooker Caramelized Onions
Slow cooker caramelized onions develop deep, rich sweetness with almost no effort. Just slice, season, and let the slow cooker do the work over several hours. Use them as a topping for burgers and pizza, stir into dips, or fold into pasta and grain bowls.
Ingredients
- 4 large onions
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Chop onions into wedges and place in the slow cooker. The onions will lose a lot of moisture and become small so feel free to use several onions. Turn your slow cooker on low.
- Drizzle with a light-tasting oil (canola or olive) and season with salt.
- Check back in two hours and stir. Your onions should just be starting to turn a light brown.
- Check back in another two hours and stir. Your onions should be a light golden brown. You could eat them now and they would be delicious but if you wait they will be even better!
- Check back in another two hours. Your onions should now be a deep, golden, caramel brown. They're ready! They're perfect!
