Caramelized Onion and Fennel Pizza

SERVES 4 / PREP TIME: 15 MINUTES / COOK TIME: 35 MINUTES

Producing perfectly caramelized onions is a skill coveted by professional chefs everywhere. This process takes time, patience, and the ability to know when the onions are sweet and golden rather than slightly scorched and bitter. If you want to speed up the timing a little, add ¼ teaspoon baking soda per whole onion and you will have slightly soft but caramelized, onions in as little as 10 minutes.

1 (10-inch) pizza crust, homemade or premade

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided

4 cups sliced sweet onions

4 cups thinly sliced fennel

1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

¼ teaspoon sea salt

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1. Preheat the oven to 450°F.

2. Place the pizza crust on a baking sheet and lightly brush the edges with 1 teaspoon of olive oil.

3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil.

4. Add the onions, fennel, oregano, thyme, pepper, and sea salt. Sauté for about 25 minutes, stirring frequently until the vegetables are caramelized and tender.

5. Spread the vegetables over the crust to about ½ inch from the edge.

6. Sprinkle the vegetables with Parmesan cheese.

7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the crust is crisp and golden.

8. Cut the pizza into 8 pieces and serve 2 per person.
