Zucchini Caramelized Onions & Toasted Almonds makes a great side dish.

Hi. It's Lois in the kitchen at Recipe Idea Shop. This recipe hits the spot any day of the week. I love onions that are sautéed until brown. That makes them what chefs call "caramelized." Caramelized onions add a delicious flavor to vegetables and meats, tangy and a little bit sweet, they are just plain yummy. Sauté everything and enjoy.

Have you ever had French Onion Soup? The onions are always caramelized in this soup. (And you can make Caramelized Onions in a slow cooker! Easy peasy.) In this case, I dice the onions to cook them. Usually, I slice onions for caramelizing because they are prettier. But dicing makes it easier. There are only 4 ingredients. It's a terrific side dish for any meal.

What You Need

The only tools you need for this recipe are a good knife, I like to use a Chef's Knife (affiliate link), a cutting board (affiliate link), measuring cups  (affiliate link), and spoons  (affiliate link), and a skillet (affiliate link). I suspect you have all of these items on hand, but if you don't have a good set of pans, it's time to get some.
