Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 large onions, Note 2 (I use sweet onions and/or red onions)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil ((or vegetable oil))
  • salt, pepper to taste
  • pinch sugar (optional) (helps caramelize onions)

Instruction

  • Heat gas grill to medium-high heat, about 400F/204C. Spray grill basket with oil. (No grill basket? note 1)
  • PREPARE ONIONS: Thinly slice onions about 1/4 inch thick (Note 3). Transfer onions to grill basket sprayed with oil. Drizzle onions with oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and pinch of sugar. Toss to coat onions. Note 4 for optional seasonings.
  • GRILL ONIONS: Lower heat to medium-low on one side of grill. Place grill basket with onions on part with lower heat. Close lid. Stir every 10 minutes for about 30 minutes or until onions are soft with as much char as you like. Increase heat to get more char if you like. Taste and adjust seasonings. (You can grill something else on the other side of the BBQ at the same time.). Serve warm or at room temperature as a side or condiment.
