Artificial Food Coloring Free Paleo Caramelized Onions

Sweet, jammy caramelized onions are one of those kitchen staples that make everything they touch taste more luxurious — and this version keeps things beautifully clean. The entire recipe relies on just a handful of whole-food ingredients: yellow onions, avocado oil, sea salt, and an optional splash of balsamic vinegar for a little extra depth. No dyes, no additives, no mystery condiments hiding synthetic colorants — just real ingredients doing all the work. The deep golden color you see in the finished pan comes entirely from the slow cooking process itself, as the natural sugars in the onions transform over low, patient heat into something rich and glossy. Scraping up those browned bits as you go is the secret to building that complex, savory-sweet flavor without any shortcuts. Use them piled onto burgers, stirred into soups, or spooned over roasted vegetables — honestly, the possibilities are endless. Once you have a batch ready, you'll find yourself reaching for them all week long.
