Ingredients

• 4 large sweet onions
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the sweet onions and slice them thinly into half-moon shapes.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add the olive oil to prevent it from burning.

Step 3

Add the sliced onions to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly with the butter and oil mixture.

Step 4

Sprinkle the salt over the onions. If you're using sugar to enhance the sweetness, add it now.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium-low and cook the onions, stirring frequently to prevent burning, for 30-45 minutes. Adjust the heat as necessary to achieve a deep golden color without scorching.

Step 6

Taste the onions and adjust for seasoning, adding more salt if needed.

Step 7

Serve warm as a topping or side, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
