Caramelized onions with less work

January 7, 2009 at 9:22 am by Leslie Green

Mmmmm, caramelized onions, sweet like candy. Ok, so maybe not candy, cause I know I don’t crave caramelized onions when I am P.M.S ‘ing. But they are sweet as far as onions go.

I used to have an aversion to cooking them, I suppose from burning them one too many times. They require pot stalking and it’s kind hard to stalk a pot with 2 young kids. You get the, “Mom, I need help”; “Mom, she’s looking at me”; “Mom, I spilled my juice”; “Mom, come wipe my butt.” (Yeah, I still have young kids that need my help in the bathroom — oh the joys of parenthood!) Ok, so you get the point. They need constant attention.

So just stick them in the oven (the onions, not the kids). Trust me, this way they require much less stalking.

Th How-To is after the break. Oh, and I swear this is not a photo of earthworms I dug up in the back yard! LOL

CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Thinly slice your desired amount of onions (I always use the sweet Vidalia variety). Coat lightly with vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper.
In a dutch oven fitted with a lid, bake for around 1 hour, or until they are golden brown. Make sure to stir them every 15 minutes so they don’t burn (yes, you still have to attend to the pot, but not as much).
Enjoy,
The Hungry Housewife
