This all depends on the size of your onions and heat applied. If the onions start to stick to the bottom of the pan reduce the heat to low. If they are still not turning golden turn up the heat to get them caramelized. Keeping stirring to prevent burning. If there are some places where the onions is stuck to the pan add a splash of water and keep stirring.
