For years, I've been adding a little bit of baking soda to my onions to speed up the caramelizing process. It works great and is super simple. For this, I wanted a similar flavor, but a smoother texture. Instead of blending, I just increased the cooking time and voilà, there it was!
I froze mine into tablespoon size ice cubed and put into a zip lock. Now, you can grab a few and throw it into your favorite recipe!
Below, you can see how fast the onions cook down. The image on the left was taken at about 10 minutes into the cooking process and the image on the right was taken at 15 minutes. I shut the heat off at 15 minutes but you could keep going and brown them even more!

prep time: 5 MINScook time: 15 MINStotal time: 20 mins
ingredients
- 3 sweet onions, chopped small
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon salt
instructions
- Heat a heavy bottom pan to a medium heat. I do this while I am chopping my onions.
- Add your oil, when hot add onions and stir for 2 minutes. Then add the remaining ingredients, stirring every minute or so. The onion will break down quickly. Cook for about 15 minutes.
- You can store this in a jar in your refrigerator but I prefer to freeze into ice cubes for later use. Just grab a few and throw them into your favorite recipe.
