Ingredients
- 1 cup vegan sour cream (store bought or homemade)
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon coconut aminos or tamari
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional for smoky flavor)
- chopped chives, green onion, or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook slowly, stirring frequently, until the onions become soft, golden brown, and caramelized. This will take about 20 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the vegan sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika (if using), coconut aminos and salt and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Once the onions are caramelized, let them cool for a few minutes. Then, add them to the dip base and gently fold them in.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dip for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to cool.
- Before serving, you can garnish the dip with fresh chives, green onions or parsley for a burst of color and extra flavor. Additionally, you can stir a bit in and add a bit on top.
