Ingredients
- 6 large Yellow onions
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Peel the onions and slice them thinly into even rings or half-moons.
Step 3
Add the sliced onions to a large, oven-safe baking dish or roasting pan, spreading them out evenly.
Step 4
Drizzle the olive oil over the onions and sprinkle with salt and sugar. Mix well to ensure all onions are coated evenly.
Step 5
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. This will trap the steam and help soften the onions in the first phase of cooking.
Step 6
Bake covered in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and give the onions a thorough stir.
Step 7
Return the dish to the oven, without the foil this time. Bake for an additional 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even caramelization.
Step 8
When the onions are golden brown, deeply fragrant, and soft, remove from the oven.
Step 9
Allow the caramelized onions to cool completely. Divide into portions and store in airtight containers or freezer bags.
Step 10
Freeze for later use for up to 3 months, or refrigerate for up to a week.
