To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper

- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder

To begin, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until they are caramelized and golden brown, stirring occasionally.
