Sauteed onions are a versatile and flavorful addition to many dishes, commonly found in cuisines worldwide, from French to Indian to Mexican cooking. Prepared by lightly cooking sliced onions in a small amount of oil or butter over medium heat, they develop a rich, caramelized sweetness that enhances the taste of soups, sandwiches, stir-fries, and more. Onions are naturally low in calories, fat-free, and packed with beneficial compounds like antioxidants, vitamins C and B6, and fiber. Sauteeing helps retain some of these nutrients while bringing out their softer texture and deeper flavor. However, adding large amounts of oil, butter, or salt can increase calorie and sodium content, making it less healthy overall. When kept simple, sauteed onions are a nutritious and delicious way to boost the nutrient content and taste of many dishes without overwhelming the other ingredients.
