INGREDIENTS
4 cups red or yellow onion, cut into 1/4-inch strips
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar (optional—helps caramelization, makes sweeter)
PREPARATION
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Toss onions with oil, salt and sugar if using.
- Put in an ovenproof casserole dish, cover with a lid or foil, and place in the oven.
- Stir every 15–20 minutes until no liquid is left and onions are caramelized. This may take up to 2 hours, but doesn’t require much tending.
Yields approximately 1 1/2 cups.
