Ideal for backyard barbecues or a quick weeknight dinner, this crowd-pleaser is ready in under an hour and pairs beautifully with fresh salads or roasted veggies for a complete paleo-friendly meal.
Begin by preparing the caramelized onions. Peel and thinly slice the large yellow onions.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ghee or coconut oil and allow it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet, stirring them to ensure they are coated in the fat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they turn a golden brown and become caramelized, about 25-30 minutes.
Once the onions are caramelized, add the garlic powder and apple cider vinegar to the skillet. Stir well and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the vinegar has evaporated.
While the onions are cooking, preheat a grill or grilling pan over medium-high heat.
Place the Paleo cheese brats on the grill, and cook them for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked and have a nice char.
Once the brats are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a moment.
Serve the cheese brats topped with a generous portion of caramelized onions and a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley for garnish.
Enjoy your delicious Paleo Cheese Brats with Caramelized Onions with a side of your choice.
