In this article you will learn how to make caramelized onions extra low in calories, and extra delicious! Most recipes for caramelizing onions call for lots of butter (or oil) and lots of white wine. Both ingredients packed full of calories. But in this low calorie caramelized onion recipe, I was able to limit these ingredients and cut calories (and fat!) without changing the flavor.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- Olive oil spray
- 6 onions
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon thyme
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
