Directions
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is hot, add the onions, habanero pepper, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Cook everything together, stirring occasionally, until the onions become soft and translucent—this usually takes about 5 to 8 minutes. Next, stir in another tablespoon of butter and keep cooking, stirring often, until the onions turn a lovely caramel color. This will take an additional 5 to 10 minutes. When they’re nicely caramelized, take the pan off the heat and toss in the last tablespoon of butter for a rich finishing touch. Give it a quick stir, and you’re ready to enjoy!
Serving Variations
They are great as a topping for burgers, tacos, or grilled meats. You can also mix them into salads or serve alongside roasted vegetables for an extra kick.
Storage Suggestions
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove to keep the flavors fresh without overcooking the onions.
