Slow-cooked until jammy and deeply golden, these caramelized onions are the kind of kitchen magic that transforms almost any dish they touch. The process is simple โ just sliced yellow onions, avocado oil, and a pinch of sea salt coaxed low and slow in a skillet until they collapse into something rich, sweet, and irresistible. Avocado oil is a smart choice here because it's rich in monounsaturated fats and free from the refined seed oils that can contribute to inflammation, making it a genuinely supportive swap for anyone managing hormonal health. The optional splash of balsamic vinegar at the end adds a subtle tang that makes the whole thing taste almost restaurant-worthy. Onions themselves are packed with quercetin and other antioxidants that support the kind of anti-inflammatory eating that tends to feel good for hormonal balance. Pile these onto grain-free flatbreads, stir them into cauliflower mash, tuck them into lettuce wraps, or spoon them over roasted chicken โ the possibilities are genuinely endless. Once you have a batch in the fridge, you'll find yourself reaching for it all week long.
