Peel the red onions and slice them into thin rings or half moons, depending on your preference.
In a medium saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, water, granulated erythritol, and sea salt.
Smash the garlic cloves lightly with the side of a knife and add them to the saucepan.
Add the whole black peppercorns and bay leaf to the saucepan.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve the erythritol and salt.
Remove the saucepan from heat once the liquid starts simmering and all ingredients are well combined.
Allow the liquid to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Place the sliced onions in a clean glass jar or container with a tight-fitting lid.
Carefully pour the warm marinade over the onions, ensuring they are fully submerged.
Let the marinated onions cool to room temperature, then seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
Enjoy as a tangy, low-carb topping on your favorite dishes.
