Sesame Free Paleo Caramelized Onions

Slow-cooked until they collapse into a glossy, jammy tangle, caramelized onions are one of those kitchen staples that make almost everything taste better — burgers, grain bowls, roasted meats, eggs, you name it. The magic here comes from patience and avocado oil, which handles medium heat beautifully and keeps the whole thing grain-free and completely free of sesame in any form. No sauces, no blended oils, no hidden ingredients to second-guess — just onions, salt, and a splash of balsamic vinegar if you want a little extra depth. That optional balsamic finish pulls the sweetness into something almost savory-complex, and it gets stirred in right at the end so the onions turn glossy and rich without losing their texture. The low-and-slow method is the real secret: scraping up the browned bits as you go builds layer after layer of flavor that no shortcut can replicate. Keep a batch in the fridge and you'll find yourself reaching for it all week long.
