HOW TO SWEETEN ONIONS



How to Sweeten Onions image

There is a little out of the way bbq joint in between High Rolls and Cloudcroft, NM that made exceptional barbecue. But what I really loved were their onion slices. They were crispy crunchy and ever so sweet! Almost like eating a slice of apple. You WANT this on your pulled pork bbq sandwich! They would never tell me how they did it but I think I figured it out.

Baking enhances the natural sweetness of my family's favorite Vidalia onions. Perfect alongside beef entrees, this side dish has a similar taste to French onion soup.-Ann Yarber, Goldsby, Oklahoma
