Vegan Caramelized Onions are the way to make just about any dish sing! Use them in a variety of vegan recipes, like my Vegan French Onion Dip or as a vegan pizza topping!
Slice the onions in half at the root end. Peel the skin and the outermost layers and discard.
Slice each onion half into thin slices.
Preheat a large, deep-sided skillet. When hot, add the vegan butter and heat until melted.
Add the onions and the salt to the pan and stir until coated. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the onions. Stir the onions every 5-8 minutes to avoid burning.
Remove the cover after 20 minutes. Stir the onions and continue to cook them on medium-low heat for an additional 20 minutes. Stir the onions every 5-8 minutes.
After 20 minutes, check the onions. They should be deep brown and creamy, but not crispy. If necessary, add 1-2 tbsp of water to add moisture. Continue to cook the onions for an additional 15-20 minutes. Stirring every few minutes to avoid burning.
