Instructions

Cut the onions in half from root to tip and remove the root by cutting a V-shape around it.
Thinly slice each onion half into ¼-inch thick half moons and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a large, deep pot over medium heat, melt the butter with the olive oil, swirling to coat the pot.
Add a handful of onions to the pot, stirring often until soft and translucent, about 2 minutes. Repeat until all onions are added.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir occasionally, cooking for 45-50 minutes until onions turn deep brown and jammy, stirring to avoid burning.
Stir in brown sugar and salt, cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat to cool.
Store caramelized onions in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Use in dips, soups, and as toppings.

Notes

Caramelized onions can enrich a variety of dishes, enhancing flavors wonderfully.
