Caramelized Onion Dip (Dairy-Free)

Cooking the onions low and slow for a full 40-45 minutes, not rushing them on high heat, is what develops real caramelized sweetness instead of just browned, sharp-tasting onions.

Ingredients

  • 3 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup dairy-free sour cream
  • 1/4 cup dairy-free mayo
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (check label GF)
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method

  1. 1

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat, add the sliced onions, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 40-45 minutes until deeply golden brown and jammy — this slow, patient cooking is what develops real caramelized sweetness; onions rushed on high heat just brown and turn sharp-tasting instead of sweet.

  2. 2

    Let the caramelized onions cool completely.

  3. 3

    Roughly chop the cooled onions, then mix with dairy-free sour cream, dairy-free mayo, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.

  4. 4

    Chill at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld.

  5. 5

    Serve with vegetable sticks or gluten-free chips.
