Caramelised onions are a flavorful culinary ingredient made by slowly cooking onions until they become soft, golden-brown, and naturally sweet. This process intensifies their natural sugars without any added sweeteners. Originating from European cuisines, particularly French cooking, caramelised onions are versatile and used in dishes like tarts, soups, burgers, and pizzas. Nutritionally, onions are rich in antioxidants, vitamins C and B6, and fiber, all of which contribute to immune support and digestion. However, during caramelisation, additional butter or oil is often used, increasing calorie and fat content. Depending on preparation, they may also include added sugar, which can make them less healthy. Yet, when cooked with minimal oil and no sugar, caramelised onions can be a wholesome addition to meals, enhancing flavor while retaining the natural nutritional benefits of onions.
