2 cups yellow onions, thinly sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp gluten-free Worcestershire sauce Shop
0.5 tsp salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 cup dairy-free sour cream or plain unsweetened dairy-free yogurt
0.5 cup dairy-free cream cheese, softened
1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

1 Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the thinly sliced yellow onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 25-30 minutes, or until the onions are deeply golden brown and caramelized, releasing a sweet aroma. Be patient, as this slow cooking develops the rich flavor.
2 Once the onions are perfectly caramelized, stir in the gluten-free Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and minced garlic. Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant, ensuring it doesn't burn.
3 In a separate medium bowl, combine the dairy-free sour cream (or yogurt) and the softened dairy-free cream cheese. Stir them together until smooth and well incorporated, creating a creamy base for the dip.
4 Add the caramelized onion mixture to the dairy-free cream cheese and sour cream mixture. Stir everything together thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed and the dip has a uniform color and texture. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
5 For the best flavor, cover the bowl and refrigerate the French onion dip for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled with your favorite gluten-free crackers, vegetable sticks, or potato chips.

Tips & Notes

Keep the skillet at medium-low and give the onions the full 25 to 30 minutes. Higher heat browns the edges while the centers stay sharp, and the dip loses its sweetness.
If browned bits stick to the skillet and start to darken too fast, add a splash of water and scrape them back into the onions. That fond carries much of the dip's flavor.
Use a Worcestershire sauce labeled gluten-free, since recipes differ by brand. Serve with potato chips and crackers labeled gluten-free, or with vegetable sticks.
