caramelized onion
Slow-cooked sweet bulb
Caramelized onions are onions cooked slowly over low heat until their natural sugars break down and turn deep golden brown, yielding a sweet, jammy texture.
The process takes thirty minutes or more—far longer than the "ten minutes" many recipes claim.
The burger was topped with caramelized onions.
Often shortened to caramelized onion when used as a modifier: caramelized onion dip.
