Creating the perfect sautéed Tennessee Onions is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to achieve delicious results:

1. Prep the Onions: Peel and slice the Tennessee Onions into thin rings or wedges, depending on your preference.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Add Onions: Once the oil is hot, add the sliced onions to the skillet.
4. Season: Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the onions, stirring them to ensure even seasoning.
5. Cook: Sauté the onions for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are golden brown and caramelized.
6. Optional Flavor Boost: If you’d like a bit of tanginess, drizzle balsamic vinegar over the onions during the last couple of minutes of cooking.
7. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked to your favorite consistency, remove from heat. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.

These steps ensure you achieve that sweet, caramelized texture that enhances the overall flavor of your dish.
