Recipe Introduction

"Like the one you make with the packet of soup mix, but with no weird chemicals and 1,000 percent tastier. While most dips like this require you to babysit caramelizing onions on the stovetop for what feels like forever, our (relatively) hands-off version lets the oven do most of the work. It's kind of counterintuitive, but you want to keep the onions and garlic in a mound on the sheet pan rather than spreading them out; this allows them to steam and soften without browning too quickly."

List of Ingredients

â—¦ 1 ½ pounds mixed onions (such as sweet, yellow, and/or red)
â—¦ 4 garlic cloves, unpeeled
â—¦ ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
â—¦ Kosher salt
â—¦ 1 ½ cups plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
â—¦ 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
â—¦ Freshly ground black pepper
â—¦ 1 bunch radishes
â—¦ Potato chips and cayenne pepper (for serving)


Recipe

Preheat oven to 400° F. Peel and trim ends off mixed onions. Cut in half lengthwise. Place halves cut side down on cutting board, then thinly slice.

Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss onion and garlic cloves with oil and 2 tablespoons water until evenly coated. Season with salt and toss again until well coated. Mound onions and garlic in center of sheet pan rather than spreading them out; this allows them to steam and soften without browning too quickly. Bake, tossing and stirring onions every 10 minutes, until all onions are golden brown and softened, 40 to 50 minutes total (some onions will brown more than others but that's okay!). Let cool.

Transfer onions and garlic to a cutting board and squeeze out cloves from peel. Using the flat side of a chef's knife, smash garlic to a paste. Transfer to a medium bowl. Finely chop caramelized onions and transfer to bowl with garlic. Add yogurt and lemon juice; season with salt and lots of pepper. Stir to combine. Cut radishes in half and arrange on a platter. Sprinkle dip with cayenne pepper. Serve radishes and chips alongside.
