Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 1 cup vegan sour cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Thinly slice the two large onions and set them aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced onions to the skillet.
- Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are caramelized and golden brown. If the onions start to stick to the pan, you can add a splash of water to help deglaze.
- During the last few minutes of cooking, sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and stir well to combine, allowing the garlic flavor to infuse the onions.
- Once the onions are caramelized, remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled caramelized onions with 1 cup of vegan sour cream and 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Season the dip with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed based on your preference.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the Easy Vegan French Onion Dip with your favorite chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables. Enjoy!
Tips
- Caramelization is Key: Take your time when cooking the onions. The longer you let them caramelize, the richer the flavor will be. Aim for a deep golden brown color for the best taste.
- Deglaze with Water: If your onions start to stick to the pan, don't hesitate to add a splash of water. This will help lift the flavorful bits stuck to the bottom, adding even more depth to your dip.
- Chill for Flavor: Allowing the dip to chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes lets the flavors meld beautifully. If you can, prepare it a few hours in advance for an even tastier experience!
- Serve with Variety: This dip pairs wonderfully with an assortment of dippers. Try it with crunchy veggies, crispy chips, or even spread it on toasted bread for a delightful twist.
- Adjust to Taste: Don’t be afraid to tweak the seasoning! Depending on your preference, you can add more garlic powder, a dash of hot sauce, or even fresh herbs for an extra kick.
