Clean Eating Oil-Free Caramelized Onions

About two years ago, I made the commitment to go oil-free. It all comes down to the simple fact that you just don't need to use oil to cook food and the calories you save by not using oil add up! Lastly, oil truly doesn't have any nutritional value to it. So, really... let's all just ditch the oil. Save some $$ and some calories.

One downfall to no oil was cooking onions. I never could get my onions to caramelize like I could with oil. Recently, with the help of Julie from the Protective Diet, I had my 'aha' moment. I was using vegetable broth to cook my onions in rather than oil when I should have been using NOTHING. That's right, all you need is a non-stick pan and some patience.

Steps:

1. Place thinly sliced onions in non-stick pan on med-high heat. 
2. Let onions brown while stirring back and forth. 
3. Once all onions have a brown coating coating them, pour a small amount of veggie broth into the pan to release the caramelized yumminess coating the pot. 
4. Serve.

Easy-peasy RIGHT?!

Let me know how it goes next time in the kitchen. I LOVE this trick.
