Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Spray 2 heavy large baking sheets with vegetable oil spray. Arrange onions in single layer on prepared sheets.
- Dot onions with 4 tablespoons butter, dividing equally. Season with salt and pepper. Bake until onions are dark brown on bottom, about 35 minutes.
- Meanwhile, boil broth in heavy large skillet over high heat until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 6 minutes. Add sugar and vinegar and whisk until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to boil.
- Add onions to sauce; reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until liquid is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over low heat before continuing.)
- Cook green beans in large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well. Return beans to same pot. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and toss to coat. Mound beans in large shallow bowl. Top with onion mixture and serve.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them.
- Trim the green beans: Remove the tough ends of the beans before cooking.
- Blanch the green beans: Blanching helps to preserve the beans' color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Immediately transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Use a variety of onions: You can use any type of onion in this recipe, but yellow onions or sweet onions are a good choice.
- Sauté the onions until they are soft and translucent: This will help to bring out their sweetness.
- Add the green beans and cook until they are heated through: Stir frequently to prevent the beans from sticking to the pan.
- Season the green beans to taste: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good choices.
- Serve the green beans immediately: They are best when served hot.
