Maple Glazed Onions Recipes

MAPLE CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat.
• Add the onions and water and cook until completely tender and caramelized and golden, about 40-50 minutes, adding more water as needed.
• Stir in the maple syrup and vinegar and cook until most of the liquid is gone, about 2-3 minutes.

MAPLE-GLAZED HOT DOGS WITH MUSTARDY ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Place the sausages in a non-stick baking tray and roast for 20 mins. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the onions and mustard seeds together for 10-15 mins until softened and golden.
• Remove the sausages and brush with maple syrup. Pop the baguettes onto the same baking tray. Increase the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and return the tray for 5-8 mins until the sausages are dark, shiny and cooked through. Stir the mustard, sugar and vinegar into the onions until the sugar has melted. Cut the baguettes open across the top and put 2 sausages into each. Spoon over the mustardy onions and serve.

MAPLE GLAZED SWEET POTATOES WITH BACON AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Toss the sweet potato chunks, olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl, and spread the sweet potatoes out onto a large rimmed baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven until browned and tender, about 40 minutes; stir after the first 20 minutes.
• Cook the bacon until crisp and brown in a large skillet over medium heat, about 10 minutes; transfer bacon to a bowl, but leave the grease in the skillet. Cook the onions in the bacon grease until browned, about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low, and cook the onions until very soft, brown, and sweet, another 10 to 15 minutes. Stir often. Mix the onions with the bacon in the bowl, and set aside.
• Pour the maple syrup into the hot skillet with the thyme, and bring to a rolling boil. Boil the syrup until reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes. Place the roasted sweet potatoes and onion-bacon mixture into the skillet, and stir to coat the vegetables with maple glaze. Transfer to a serving dish.

MAPLE-GLAZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Melt butter in large skillet. Add syrup. Bring to a boil, stirring; boil 5 minutes. Turn heat to low and add onions and lemon juice. Simmer about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until onions are glazed.

MAPLE-ROASTED DELICATA SQUASH WITH RED ONION

Steps:

• Arrange the racks in the upper and lower rungs in the oven and preheat the oven to 425°F degrees. Place the squash, red onion, garlic, thyme, and red pepper flakes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and maple syrup, and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper; toss to coat.
• Spread vegetables evenly onto two large, rimmed baking sheets. Bake the squash on the upper and lower racks of the oven, tossing, rotating, and switching the pan positions half way through cooking, until tender and browned, 25 to 30 minutes. Taste and season again with more salt and pepper, if desired.

SHERRY VINEGAR-GLAZED ONIONS

Steps:

• In a wide skillet with a lid, heat oil over medium heat until bubbling. Add onions and sauté over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes, gently rolling the onions about so they will brown as evenly as possible.
• Pour in vinegar and 1/4 cup water. Season with salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cover and simmer very gently until onions are perfectly tender but retain their shape. Start testing with a thin sharp knife after 15 minutes; depending on size, the onions may cook in 15 to 25 minutes. (Frozen onions will cook faster.) Taste one to make sure it is completely tender all the way through; do not undercook.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer onions to a serving bowl. (Onions may be prepared up to this point 2 days ahead. Reserve onions and cooking liquid separately. Reheat onions in reserved liquid, adding water as needed, then transfer them to a bowl.)
• Raise heat and boil liquid to reduce it to a thick glaze. Taste and add salt, pepper and sweetener to taste. Stir in parsley and serve hot or warm.

GLAZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Blanch the peeled onions for 5 minutes in boiling salted water.
• Drain them, pat them dry and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a skillet. Add the remaining ingredients and stir until smooth.
• Add the onions and saute on low heat, occasionally basting the onions with the glaze.
• Turn the onions over at least once.
• After about 10 minutes, the glaze will be somewhat reduced and thickened and the onions golden brown.
• Serve immediately.
