- In a large sauté pan, melt the butter, olive oil and maple syrup together.
- Add the onions to the pan and stir until all of the onions are coated.
- Spread the onions out so that everything cooks evenly.
- Cook the onions just under medium heat for about 10 minutes.
- Add the salt after 10 minutes of cooking, this will help draw out the moisture.
- Cook the onions low and slow for at least 45-60 minutes. After about 20 minutes you should start to see some nice color. If the onions look very dark or sticking to the pan then your heat is too high. If you do not see any color after 20 minutes, then your heat is too low.
- Stir the onions every 5-7 minutes making sure they are spread evenly in the pan.
- If the onions look dry after 30 minutes, then you can add a bit more butter at this point.
- It should take about 60 minutes for your onions to be a rich golden brown.
- Once the onions are finished browning, you can sprinkle with pepper.
The maple caramelized onions are finished when they have a beautiful golden brown color.
