1
Prepare the Onions
Peel the onions and cut them into thick slices. Aim for around 1-inch thick slices for even cooking.
2
Sauté the Onions
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized.
3
Add Balsamic Vinegar
Pour balsamic vinegar over the onions in the skillet. Stir well to combine and allow to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, letting the vinegar reduce slightly.
4
Finish with Thyme
Add fresh thyme to the skillet and stir to incorporate. Cook for another minute, then remove from heat.
5
Serve
Transfer the sautéed onions to a serving dish and enjoy as a delicious side dish!
