Incredible Low-Fat Zucchini Caramelized Onion Sauce
Mylow-fat zucchini caramelized onion sauce makes an excellent dip and can turnthe ordinary potato fry into an extraordinary experience for your taste buds.
Ingredients
- 2 Cups yellow or sweet onions, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup, ⅓ cup or ½ cup cashews, soaked (depending on how much fat you desire)
- ¾ cup, ⅔ cup or ½ cup zucchini, chopped
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp dried dill OR ½ tsp smoked paprika
- 1 medium sized lemon, juiced
- 6 Tbsp maple syrup
- Sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Caramelize the onions per the recipe and instructions here. Please use the maple syrup to caramelize until you get a delicious smelling aroma. You have to cook them down for a considerable amount of time
- I like to use very low fat in this recipe, so I use only ¼ cup of cashews. You can use a little more if you desire and I change the proportion of the zucchini that is used in the recipe.
- Once you have decided how much fat you are using in the recipe, add to a blender with the corresponding amount of zucchini and the onion powder, garlic powder, dill and lemon juice. Blend until smooth.
- Alternatively for a different flavor, you can swap out the dill for smoked paprika and the sauce tastes so different! We love both flavors equally! Blend the ingredients well in both cases.
- Add sea salt if desired or you can leave it out as well. The recipe is super flavorful without salt.
- Pour the sauce out into a bowl and mix in the caramelized onions.
- Serve.
