Method

SIDES

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

    Peel the onions and chop them into thin slices. Aim for uniform slices to ensure even cooking.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Allow the oil to warm for about 1-2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Onions

    Add the sliced onions to the skillet. Stir them in the heated oil to coat evenly. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until they start to become soft and translucent.

  4. 4

    Season the Onions

    Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the onions. If using garlic, mince the cloves and add them to the skillet now. Continue to sauté for an additional 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently until the onions are caramelized and golden brown.

  5. 5

    Finish and Serve

    Once the onions are cooked to your desired level of caramelization, remove them from heat. Serve warm as a side dish or as a topping for other meals.
