Caramelized onions are a culinary staple made by slowly cooking sliced onions until they become soft, sweet, and golden brown. This simple yet transformative process unlocks natural sugars, giving them a rich and savory flavor. A versatile ingredient, caramelized onions appear in various cuisines, including French, Italian, and American, often used in soups, tarts, sandwiches, and sauces. Nutritionally, onions are low in calories and contain vitamins C and B6, antioxidants, and dietary fiber. The caramelization process, however, involves a small amount of added oil or butter, which can slightly increase fat content depending on preparation methods. While they’re a healthier option than fried onions, moderation is key when considering portion size. Caramelized onions add depth to dishes without relying on heavy sauces or excessive salt, making them a flavorful addition to balanced meals.
