Question Hi Tina, can you tell me how to carmelize fried onions? Thanks, Ken.
Answer Hi Ken! To caramelize onions, you want to heat either butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add your onions, sprinkle some sugar over them, and reduce heat to medium low. Cook them, stirring often, over the lower heat till they turn soft and a brown caramel looking color. You can also add some balsamic vinegar, which helps with caramelization and gives them a slightly different taste.
