Ingredient Notes:
Avocado Oil: For this recipe, I used Chosen Foods 100% Pure Avocado Oil to caramelize the onions. Their avocado oil contains good fats from avocados and it has a neutral flavor so it doesn’t overpower the onion. It’s also fantastic for high-heat cooking and is a healthy swap for most recipes that call for oil.
Greek Yogurt: In this french onion dip I used Greek yogurt to help with the creaminess. Greek yogurt is such a healthy alternative to using sour cream or mayo in recipes. It also adds an extra protein boost.
How to make french onion dip:
- Slice onions very thinly (this can also be done on a mandolin if you desire).
- Heat a medium-sized pot or high-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the avocado oil and once warm turn to medium-low and add the onions, sprinkle with salt and sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally until the onions are caramelized and golden, this can take about 30 minutes.
- Pre heat the oven to 375F. To make the crispy baguette, using a bread knife, slice the baguette into 1-inch thick slices. Brush the baguette slices with olive oil on one side and place in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast for 10 minutes total, flipping halfway through. Set aside.
- Transfer caramelized onions to a cutting board and chop coarsely into smaller pieces.
- Stir together softened goat cheese and yogurt. Mix in chopped caramelized onions, fresh chives, garlic powder, salt, pepper and worcestershire sauce.
- Serve with toasted baguette!
