We've had bean appreciation threads and beans are really awesome. But have you considered onions?

White onions, yellow onions, green onions, red onions, spring onions. They're the humble workhorse of vegetables and we use them for everything. Raw, cooked, fried, pickled. They've been with us forever, we eat them every day.

    I can (and do) sometimes just caramelize onions (and other stuff) and just eat them like candy lol. I fucking love them so much, I put it on so much stuff. It's basically like a cheat code, similar to garlic in getting a dope ass flavor in a super easy method. While the cooking time can make it a bit more annoying for some people to do, I've also perfect just doing a quicker method that is more like grilled onions but still using sugar in the same way you caramelize onions and tbh it works pretty well.

    The craziest part about caramelizing onions is just how much it shrinks. If you're doing this your first few times, you'll realize you did not use enough onions and by then it will be too late. ALWAYS double the amount of raw onion you think you need, not kidding, even if the whole pan is covered in onions and looks like it could feed a whole family: it wont. They can shrink to like 1/5th or 1/8th the size of raw, so be very liberal with the amount of raw onions you use. I'm sure that wont be a problem for most people here anyways
