Candida Diet Friendly Olive Oil Caramelized Onions

Slow-cooked onions have a kind of kitchen magic to them — three large yellow onions shrink down into a glossy, jammy, deeply golden pile that tastes almost sweet and savory at the same time. The long, patient cook over medium-low heat is what does it, coaxing out natural sugars without any added sweeteners, which makes this recipe a genuinely satisfying option when you're avoiding sugar and processed ingredients. A splash of apple cider vinegar at the end brightens everything up and adds a subtle tang that keeps the flavor complex rather than one-note. Optional fresh thyme leaves round it out with an herby, aromatic finish that feels a little fancy for something so simple. The whole thing comes together with just olive oil, salt, pepper, and pantry staples — no hidden additives, no questionable sauces, nothing that would throw off a careful eating plan. Serve it over grilled chicken, stir it into eggs, or pile it onto a grain bowl for an instant flavor upgrade. This batch serves four and reheats beautifully, so it's worth making a full pan whenever you have the time.
