Pickled onions - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, apple cider vinegar works well and adds a slightly sweeter, fruitier flavor. Just ensure it has 5% acidity for proper preservation.
Stored in an airtight jar, they’ll keep for 2–3 weeks. Always use clean utensils to avoid contamination.
Absolutely! Replace sugar with a keto-friendly sweetener like erythritol, or omit it entirely for a tangier, low-carb version.
A sharp knife and uniform half-rings ensure even pickling. For quicker results, a mandoline works (use a guard for safety).
Yes! This recipe is naturally vegan, using only plant-based ingredients like vinegar, sugar, and salt.
Absolutely! Try peppercorns, mustard seeds, or red pepper flakes for extra flavor. Add them to the jar before pouring the brine.
Double or triple the ingredients, but ensure onions are fully submerged in brine. Use multiple jars if needed for even marinating.
Freezing isn’t recommended—it alters their texture. Stick to refrigeration for crisp, flavorful results.
