Description

Instant Pot Caramelized Onions -- I love cooking with onions. I like to make caramelized onions on the stovetop, but it takes a while for them to get that perfect sweet and savory flavor. With my Instant Pot, I can make caramelized onions in less than 10 minutes! If you're looking for an easy side dish or topping for your favorite sandwich recipe, you should try this out.

Ingredients 

  • 1 pound onions, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil , or butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, optional

Instructions

  • Add the onions, butter, or oil to the Instant Pot, add your lid. Set the manual high pressure for 5 minutes. When the time is up, do a quick release.
  • Strain the liquid from the onions, return the onions to the Instant Pot, saute for another 4 to 6 minutes until the onions are fully caramelized.
  • Plate, serve, and enjoy!

Equipment

  • Instant Pot
