For a deeper flavor, try using brown sugar instead of white sugar. A splash of balsamic vinegar at the end adds a lovely tangy note. Make sure to use a large enough skillet to avoid overcrowding, which can steam the onions instead of caramelizing them. These glazed onions are also delicious served cold or at room temperature.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
25 mins
Begin by preparing the onions: Place the trimmed onions in a large saucepan and cover with water by about 1 inch. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the onions are tender when pierced with a fork (approximately 20-25 minutes).
02
Step
5 mins
Once tender, drain the onions thoroughly. Allow them to cool slightly, then slip off their skins. This step is much easier when the onions are warm but not scalding.
03
Step
2 mins
In a large, deep skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sugar and stir until it begins to dissolve. Pour in the water, stirring to create a smooth, syrupy mixture.
04
Step
10 mins
Add the peeled onions to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions start to caramelize and take on a beautiful golden-brown color (about 10 minutes). Be patient and avoid overcrowding the pan for best results.
05
Step
5 mins
Sprinkle the slivered almonds evenly over the onions in the skillet. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the almonds are lightly toasted and the onions are a rich, deep golden color (an additional 4-5 minutes). Watch carefully to prevent burning.
