There's nothing more I love than a good dip! Honestly, I'd skip full meals in favor of an assortment of chips and dip and this Roasted Onion Dip is the perfect meal in a bowl!

Why I Love This Recipe
Here we go team. Meet your new favorite dip - Roasted Onion Dip!
This Roasted Onion Dip is loaded with caramelized onions and shallots and herbs, plus sour cream and Greek yogurt, fresh chives and some of my favorite seasoning on earth. In one word… it’s perfect. And quite easy to whip up. And the onion / shallot mixture that is the base of this recipe is beyond. So much so that it might be a good idea to make a double batch because I found myself eating it by the spoonful before I could even get the ingredients together to make the dip.
I’m serving it up with wavy potato chips for optimum dipping. I mean, come on… does it get better than this? Doubtful.

How to Make Roasted Onion Dip
Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°. Mix onions, shallots, thyme sprigs, and oil in a large roasting pan. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 2: Roast onion mixture, stirring and scraping down sides of pan every 10 minutes, until mixture starts to break down and turn golden brown, 45–55 minutes.
Step 3: Discard thyme sprigs. Add wine and vinegar; stir to scrape up any browned bits from bottom of pan. Return onion mixture to oven. Continue roasting, stirring occasionally, until deep golden brown and completely caramelized, about 15 minutes longer. Spread onion mixture out on a rimmed baking sheet to cool.
Step 4: Transfer onion mixture to a work surface and finely chop. Transfer the onion mixture to a medium bowl, reserving 2 tablespoons for garnish.
Step 5: Stir in sour cream, chives, and yogurt. Season with salt, thyme and everything seasoning.
Step 6: Serve with Cape Cod Waves ™ Potato Chips.
How to Store Roasted Onion Dip
You can store this dip in the fridge for 3-4 days in an airtight container.
How to Freeze Roasted Onion Dip
I do not recommend storing this dip with the yogurt and sour cream in it, its best eaten fresh!
Tips & Tricks
Roasting is completely hands-off vs caramelizing in a skillet, and tastes just as good!!
FAQs
I'm creating a dip trio, what other dips can I make with this?
Yum! Add the pimento cheese dip and and my smoked salmon dip. However, there are a whole lot of other options. Also be sure to check out my Dip Party 101 guide.
I do not have shallots on hand, can I do just onion?
While I love the mix of shallots and onions in this recipe, if onions are all you have on hand, you can still make this recipe.

Hi, this looks amazing! I live in Australia where Everything Seasoning isn't a thing - can you suggest some substitutes?
Thanks!
I made this yesterday to watch some NCAA basketball games with family. This dip was a hit! I have a tried and true pan-fried onion dip and this was by far easier to roast the onions and someone said it was even better than my other recipe!
What is “everything seasoning”? Did I miss something?
This dip is literally EVERYTHING.
I think I would eat the entire bag of chips before the onions finished carmelizing, they look delicious!
Can you please tell me where I can find the Everything seasoning that you have in your yummy recipe?
All the chips! All the dip! This looks like a great party!
BEST DAY EVER! This looks like the perfect way to celebrate!
I just want to eat those roasted onions by the handful!
Looks awesome! Is that the Everything bagel seasoning from Trader Joe’s?
Oh this looks mega good! Cape cod chips are my forever favorite! And combined with this dip = match made in heaven. What time does the party start...I'll be right over! 🙂
Dang those onions look crazy flavorful!!!
oh yum- I would eat that whole bag!
I want to dip! YUM!
This looks amazing! Can you make it a day ahead, or do you suggest serving day-of?
day ahead totally works!
