Easy French Onion Dip

It’s official: onions make everything better. We’re obsessed with this stuff. In fact, you can’t have a traditional French dip sandwich or the onion-topped version of the food without it. And when you’re craving a dip that’s low calorie, you’ll get it from this super easy dip.

My heart skips a beat when I hear the words “wine and cheese” or “French onion dip”. By now you’ve probably figured out why — that’s the reason why I wrote this post.

French Onion Dip is a tasty appetizer which is popular in the United States and especially throughout the United States. Traditional French Onion Dip is made by frying sliced onions in oil until translucent and then using a food processor to blend the onions with other ingredients, such as cream cheese, sour cream, and/or cheese.

I’m a dip aficionado! It’s one of those foods that I don’t feel bad about eating too much of. When you’re shoving food into your mouth, you’ll never know what an appropriate serving size is, so why not just enjoy it? This Onion Dip in French is made with fresh herbs and caramelized onions to elevate your dip status!

One of the nicest times of the year is celebrating the holidays with family and friends, but what makes it even better is the delicious cuisine that comes with it!

Putting Together The Dip

You should always use room temperature ingredients while assembling any dip, whether it’s cold or hot. If the cream cheese in this dish was cold, it wouldn’t mix well with the sour cream and you’d end up with lumps of cream cheese. Because some of the components will be at room temperature, you’ll want to create it ahead of time so you can refrigerate it before serving!

The Dip’s Presentation

Dippers are required for serving a dip. The possibilities are unlimited for your high-carb friends and family, but tortilla chips or pita chips will always suffice. But what about those of us who follow a low-carb diet? So, with this recipe, I devised a super-quick low-carb chip recipe with low-carb tortillas, which I’ll show you how to make below. Serve it with a variety of vegetables or flax seed crackers!

To make the low-carb tortilla chips, combine all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl.

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cut your low carb tortilla into triangles and arrange them on the baking pan so that they don’t touch.
3. Bake for 5-7 minutes after spraying both sides with coconut oil spray (watch them because they will burn quickly if left unattended).
4. For a crispy, browned tortilla chip, turn the heat to broil for 1-2 minutes, keeping an eye on them.
5. Serve right away! On the counter, store in a zip top bag.

Onion Dip in French (Easy)

You have no excuse this holiday season with how simple it is to prepare low carb tortilla chips. Veggies can get dull, and flax seed crackers aren’t as tasty as regular crackers, but now you have a real chip to dip in! Make a double or triple batch of this French (caramelized) onion dip for holiday gatherings and keep it refrigerated in an airtight container for a quick snack or dish alternative!
