Homemade Onion Boil (Viral TikTok) (Print-Friendly Version)

This June-inspired caramelized onion dish combines vegan butter, olive oil, and cajun seasoning for a savory delight. Perfect for sharing, it's a keeper for your culinary collection.

# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Vegetables

01 - 1 large sweet onion (approximately 15 ounces), peeled and ends trimmed

→ Fats and Oils

02 - 1 tablespoon vegan butter

03 - 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

→ Seasonings

04 - 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning

05 - Salt, to finish

# How to Make It:

01 - Peel the sweet onion and trim off both stem and root ends.

02 - Place the onion on a sheet of aluminum foil. Rub the surface with vegan butter, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, and sprinkle Cajun seasoning evenly over the top. Wrap tightly in the foil to seal.

03 - Position the wrapped onion in a small baking dish or cast iron skillet to catch any melted fats. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (204°C) for 15 minutes.

04 - Carefully open the foil to expose the onion. Drizzle with additional melted vegan butter or olive oil if desired, and add a pinch of salt. Set the oven to broil and return the uncovered onion for 5-10 minutes, watching closely, until the surface becomes golden brown and caramelized.

05 - Transfer the caramelized onion to a plate and serve warm.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Broiling the onion at the end develops a rich caramelized crust; monitor closely to prevent burning.
