Method

Caramelizing Onions

  1. 1

    Prepare Onions

    Slice the yellow onions thinly.

  2. 2

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Cook Onions

    Add the sliced onions and salt to the skillet. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and translucent.

  4. 4

    Add Sugar and Balsamic

    Sprinkle in the sugar and balsamic vinegar. Continue to cook for another 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are deeply caramelized and brown. Remove from heat.

Roasting Beets

  1. 5

    Prepare Beets

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and scrub the beets, then wrap each beet in aluminum foil.

  2. 6

    Roast Beets

    Place the wrapped beets on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 45-60 minutes, or until fork-tender.

  3. 7

    Cool and Peel

    Remove from the oven, let cool, then unwrap and peel the skins off the beets. Chop the beets into small pieces.

Making the Dip

  1. 8

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth and creamy.

  2. 9

    Add Beets and Onions

    Fold in the caramelized onions and chopped roasted beets into the cream mixture until well combined.

  3. 10

    Season to Taste

    Taste the dip and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
