carameled

Cooked in sugar

Carameled describes food coated or cooked with caramelized sugar—sugar heated until it browns and develops a rich, slightly bitter sweetness: carameled onions, carameled apples.

Also spelled caramelized, which is more common.

The past tense works the same way: She carameled the bananas until they turned golden.
