Crispy and Sweet Burnt Onions
These burnt onions are pretty much the best thing ever. They can elevate a so-so dish and make it awesome. Always make more than you need because I guarantee you’ll be snacking on them while you’re cooking, while you’re setting the table, well… you get the idea.
I’ve already mentioned them here, but I’m sure I’ll be referring to them often so I thought they deserved their own reference-friendly post.
Burnt Onions
Ingredients:
* 1 large or 2 small yellow onions
* 1/2 cup vegetable oil
Directions:
Halve the onion(s) and slice very thinly. Heat the oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the onions and stir until well-coated in oil. Spread into an even layer. Stop stirring and let the onions cook until the onions on the periphery begin to brown. Stir well and again spread the onions out into an even layer. Repeat until all of the onions are a dark brown. Resist the urge to stir constantly. Drain on a paper towel.

They do look awfully dark in this photo… must be the lighting. For another photo of them in action garnishing a dish, check out the Fragrant Sri Lankan Rice post- you can see they're more of a golden brownish-black.
I promise they're really good! Sort of like a vegan version of bacon bits!
