caramelized onions
Slowly sweetened bulbs
Caramelized onions are onions cooked slowly over low heat until their natural sugars break down and turn deep golden brown.
The process takes thirty minutes to an hour and transforms sharp, pungent raw onions into something sweet and jammy.
The burger was topped with caramelized onions.
Distinct from sautéed onions, which cook quickly and stay pale.
