Green Beans with Caramelized Red Onions

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 medium red onions , (about 1 3/4 pounds), cut into 16 wedges each
  • 1 pound green beans , trimmed
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons light brown sugar

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, 10 to 15 minutes.
