Add onions and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring often, until the onions are golden brown and jammy, 20 to 35 minutes. Add water as needed, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring with a wooden spoon to scrape and stir in any browned bits sticking to bottom of the skillet.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
