hi I'm Vicki chel and I'm the author of Vicki's vegan kitchen and I'm going to show you how to caramelize onions in the oven and we're going to just slice4 inch thick each so you don't have to be fussy it doesn't have to be exact but they have to be generally in about the same size all of these so I've cut up some other ones earlier today but we'll mix them all together and actually we don't need them all put these over the side we're going to use some of the recipes online for this call for a/4 cup olive oil and you don't need it I'm using just 5 lbs of onions and just about two tablespoons whoops maybe a little more than we need but we're using about two tablespoons olive oil and it's plenty and I think it's good to not put more oil or more salt than we need in our recipes so I'm taking about two teaspoons of sea salt this is a beautiful gray Celtic Sea salt that I like to use and we're just going to mix it up I'm going to use my hands for this and separate the Rings a bit and I will put it in my cast iron skillet but you want to have a lid on it an oven proof lid I preheated the oven to 375 a lot of recipes call for 400 but the smoking point of some olive oils are close to 400 so I've decided to try it at 375 and it works it's just fine so we will put the lid on and even if it's doesn't fit perfectly because it's full it's going to be okay and put the lid on and we'll put it in the oven and just Let It Bake for and you know the timing doesn't have to be perfect I will I've done it at different times I've actually even gone off and forgotten it and come come back later and it it's working so we'll put it in for about an hour hour and a half but we'll stir it after about 15 minutes and then we'll leave the lid a jar there we go delicious easy caramelized onion
