Notes
What if I don’t have coconut aminos? No problem! You can substitute gluten free soy sauce or gluten free tamari. Just use a little less, since soy sauce is saltier than coconut aminos.
Can I use different types of onion? Absolutely! While yellow onions are the most common for caramelizing, you can also try sweet onions like Vidalia or even red onions for a different flavor profile. Just keep in mind that different onions will give you slightly different sweetness levels.
Can I make a larger batch of this dip? Yes. If you're hosting a bigger crowd or just want extra to snack on, you can easily double or triple the recipe using the convenient slider in the recipe card for a bigger batch!
Is it possible to make this dip lighter? Sure! You can substitute Greek yogurt for some or all of the sour cream for a tangy twist that cuts down on calories. You’ll still get that creamy texture without sacrificing flavor!
Can I add cheese to the dip? Absolutely! Adding cream cheese or shredded cheese can give your dip an even creamier texture and a cheesy flavor boost. Just mix it in , and warm in the oven to melt the cheese for the best results.
Can I make this dip ahead of time? Definitely! In fact, the flavors often improve after a day in the fridge. Just make sure to store it in an airtight container. When you're ready to serve, give it a good stir to perk it up!
How long will the dip last in the fridge? Your caramelized onion dip should last about 4-5 days in the fridge when stored properly in an airtight container.
