Notes
- Onions - Slice evenly so they brown at the same rate.
- Oil - Use only a light coating to prevent greasy onions.
- Cooking time - This may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage.
- Storage - Store cooled onions in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
- How to use - Garnish for soups, curries, baked or mashed potatoes, and biryanis. Add to salads, and scrambled eggs. Sprinkle over burgers, sandwiches, or wraps for extra crunch.
