Pro Tips for the Best Pickled Onions
- Slice thinly and evenly – This ensures the onions pickle quickly and evenly.
- Use a mandolin if you have one – It makes the slicing super easy and uniform.
- Shake the jar well – It helps the flavors infuse and distributes the ingredients evenly.
- Let them marinate longer for stronger flavor – They’re great after an hour but amazing after 24 hours.
- Add-ins for extra flair – Try tossing in a smashed garlic clove, peppercorns, or a sprig of thyme.
