How to Make Quick Caramelized Onions (Easy & Fast Recipe)
This quick caramelized onion recipe requires just 4 ingredients and 15 minutes. All you need are onions, olive oil, kosher salt, and balsamic vinegar glaze or reduction.
Add olive oil to a large saute pan over medium heat.
Once the olive oil is hot, add the onions and salt and stir. Cook this mixture down for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly and scraping up any bits on the bottom of the pan. If they onions are getting too dried out, add 2 tablespoon of water at a time until they're turning golden brown.
Once they've softened and are starting to gain some color, add in the balsamic vinegar glaze. Drop the heat down to low and stir this mixture consistently until all the onions are coated. Continue cooking for a few more minutes until the onions look deep golden brown.
Turn off the heat and season with salt and pepper if needed.
