Instant Pot Caramelized Onions

• servings: 12 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

4 large onions

2 tablespoons butter or coconut oil (use coconut oil for SCD, Whole30, Paleo and AIP)

1/2 teaspoon baking soda (optional)

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper (omit for AIP)

Directions

On the saute function, melt the butter or coconut oil in the Instant Pot.

Add the sliced onions, baking soda, sea salt and black pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions are warmed through and beginning to sweat.

Place the lid on and set to pressure cook for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, release the steam, take the lid off, and set the onions to saute mode again.

Stir occasionally uncovered for 10 more minutes, allowing the extra liquid to cook off the onions until you have a nice and deeply hued batch of caramelized onions.

Store in an airtight jar or container. Will keep at least 2 weeks in the fridge.
