Description
Caramelized onions are simple and delicious, but take a while with often stirring on the stove. I've done them in a slow cooker here, so you can let them go all day, and check on them every hour or so. Caramelized onions are great on nearly everything; give it a go

- 1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp Garlic powder

Instructions
Cook Mode Off: Prevents screen dimming
- Slice all your onions, and add to a large slow cooker. Season, and mix, making sure to separate the onions from other layers
- Cover and cook on high for about 8 hours, stirring occasionally, until soft, jammy, and fragrant. Deglaze with some white wine or water if needed. Store in a container in the fridge
Notes
- For context, the onions weigh about 880 g raw, and I ended up with about 120 g of cooked onions. You're aiming to cook nearly all the water out of the onions and end up with essentially onion jelly
- With these onions, you can make my Low Fat French Onion Dip, which is higher in protein due to plain nonfat greek yogurt instead of sour cream and cream cheese
