Ingredients
- 2 medium red onions
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons erythritol
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1 large, peeled and halved garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Directions
Step 1
Thinly slice the red onions into rings, about 1/4 inch thick. Place them in a heatproof, lidded jar or bowl.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, water, erythritol, and kosher salt. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the erythritol and salt have dissolved.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the black peppercorns, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
Step 4
Pour the warm vinegar mixture over the sliced onions, ensuring the onions are completely submerged.
Step 5
Let the onions sit at room temperature until cool, which should take about 30 minutes. Once cooled, cover the jar or bowl.
Step 6
For best flavor, refrigerate the pickled onions for at least 1 hour before serving. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
