They also add a ton of flavor to sandwiches, steaks, burgers and pizzas. While caramelizing onions can take a bit of time, it\u2019s an easy technique that you can master at home. All you need is a good pan and a little patience.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Make Caramelized Onions<\/h2>\n<p>Learning how to caramelize onions is very simple. You need a heavy pan (a cast-iron skillet works especially well here) and two ingredients: onions and butter\u2014or the oil of your choice. Start by heating your butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add all your onions and cook them for four to five minutes to give them a head start.<\/p>\n<p>Then, turn your heat down and cook these onions slowly over low heat until they\u2019re deeply golden brown and very soft. This should take about 45 to 60 minutes. Stir every five minutes to ensure the caramelized onions don\u2019t stick to the pan.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Caramelized Onions<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> While you can use butter or oil to caramelize onions, we prefer butter to give our onions the richest flavor possible.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Onions:<\/strong> You can use any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-onions\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-onions\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">type of onion<\/a> here, but yellow onions tend to caramelize easily and are the most versatile. Onions are mostly made up of water and lose about two-thirds of their mass during the caramelization process. If what you slice looks like a lot, don\u2019t fret since they\u2019ll reduce significantly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt:<\/strong> A big pinch of salt doesn\u2019t make the caramelized onions salty. Rather, it makes the caramelized onion\u2019s new flavor pop.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Saute the onions<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2109514\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Caramelized-Onions_TOHVS25_278615_MF_01_06_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"sliced onions being cooked in a skillet\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

You can deglaze the pan with broth, stock, wine, beer, cider, bourbon, apple juice or even just a bit of water.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add a splash of vinegar:<\/strong> Adding a touch of balsamic vinegar to caramelized onions can add a great depth of flavor. A little goes a long way, so just add a touch at a time until you reach your desired flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Season with herbs:<\/strong> You can spice up your onions, too. Salt, pepper, fresh herbs\u2014it\u2019s all up to you. If you need help deciding, just add a sprinkling of the same seasonings you\u2019re using in your meal. Add herbs once the onions are done cooking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Caramelized Onions<\/h2>\n<p>If you don\u2019t manage to eat all your caramelized onions, you can store them easily. Let them cool to room temperature, then pop them in an airtight container so your fridge doesn\u2019t fill up with the smell of caramelized onions. They\u2019ll keep in the fridge for up to four days.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze caramelized onions?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you can freeze caramelized onions. Once they\u2019ve cooled to room temperature, stash them in an airtight container or resealable storage bag. They can be kept frozen for up to three months. Thaw them overnight in the fridge before using them.<\/p>\n<h2>Caramelized Onions Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2109512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Caramelized-Onions_TOHVP25_278615_MF_01_06_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Caramelized Onions\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How should you use caramelized onions?<\/h3>\n<p>There are so many ways to use caramelized onions.

Butter adds flavor and richness, and oil can withstand high heat and caramelize the onions to an extremely deep brown. The choice is yours. We prefer butter!<\/p>\n<h3>How long does it actually take to caramelize onions?<\/h3>\n<p>It can take up to one hour to properly caramelize onions. When you first start with our caramelized onion recipe, you\u2019ll be cooking the onions over medium heat for a few minutes. After that, you\u2019ll turn down the heat to low. From here on out, low and slow is the motto. This extended cooking time allows the sugars in the onions to brown and caramelize, giving the onions a sweeter taste and a depth of flavor\u2014since as we all know color means flavor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"tracked-search-text\">Caramelized onions\u00a0<\/span>add a rich sweetness to almost any dish.
