Step-by-Step Instructions
First, let’s start by preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C). In my experience, starting with a hot oven sets the stage for a perfect bake! Next, heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the sliced onions and sprinkle them with a pinch of salt. The secret to caramelized onions is patience; stir them occasionally and watch as they soften and turn a lovely golden brown. This usually takes around 15-20 minutes, and let me tell you, the smell is heavenly! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
