1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup Coca-Cola
1 tablespoon brown sugar

Directions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

2. Add the thinly sliced onions and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Stir to coat the onions in the oil.

4. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the onions, then add the Coca-Cola to the skillet.

5. Continue to cook the onions, stirring frequently, until the liquid has evaporated and the onions are a deep caramel color, about 15-20 minutes. Be careful not to let the onions burn.

6. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm 

Variations & Tips

For those looking to cut down on sugar, you can use Coca-Cola Zero or Diet Coke. If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the onions as they cook. To make this recipe vegan, ensure your brown sugar is certified vegan or substitute it with coconut sugar. You can also experiment with different types of onions, such as red onions, for a slightly different flavor profile
