This stuff is heavenly and sinful at the same time. Caramelized Onion Dip was my “star” recipe for many years. People just raved about it!
I tired of it way before my friends and family did, but my taste for caramelized onion dip was revived on a recent trip to Turks and Caicos when my friend made one GIANT bowl. I couldn’t get enough and all I could think of was how fabulous it would be with Food Should Taste Good™ Sweet Potato Tortilla Chips.
Creamy, sweet and savory dip with crunchy, wholesome sweet potato tortilla chips! I decided to bring my caramelized onion dip back to life, but made a few modifications.
I left the caramelized onions slices whole, added roast garlic, blended in pecans and topped it with colorful and pungent chives. If you have never caramelized onions, check out my tutorial, and for how to roast garlic.
