Sour Cream and Roasted Red Onion Dip image

Here's how to make onion dip without standing near the stove for an eternity, waiting for onions to caramelize: Roast rings of onion in the oven with the teeniest bit of sugar for 40 minutes for effortlessly faux-caramelized onions. Red onions are naturally a bit sweeter and mellower than white ones, especially when they get brown and slouchy, but lemon juice, chives and raw garlic will perk them right up. The creaminess - what we're here for - comes from three sources: sour cream, mayonnaise and Greek yogurt, a nice counter to the crisp potato chips you'll, of course, serve it with.

Time 50m

Yield About 8 to 10 servings (2½ cups)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound red onions, cut into 1/4-inch rings (about 2 large onions)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 garlic clove, grated
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons minced chives
Potato chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the onion slices in a single layer on the prepared sheet, leaving room between each. (Use 2 baking sheets if the onions won't all fit comfortably on 1.) Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and the sugar and gently flip to coat, keeping the rings as intact as possible. Cook for 30 to 40 minutes, turning once, until soft and browning (It's O.K. if some parts get crisp and charred).
  • Let the onions cool slightly, then transfer to a cutting board and roughly chop. (You want to have small pieces of onion without making a paste.)
  • Transfer the onions to a medium bowl and add the sour cream, yogurt, mayonnaise, garlic, remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt, lemon juice and black pepper. Fold to combine.
  • Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with minced chives. Serve with potato chips.

I thought this dip was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This dip was a little too sour for my taste, but I think I just added too much lemon juice. I'll try it again with less.
