Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 large red onions
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper


Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, aiming for a temperature between 375 to 450 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure perfect cooking.
  2. Prepare the onions: Peel the red onions and slice them into thin rounds to allow even grilling and maximize flavor absorption.
  3. Season the onions: Brush both sides of each onion slice with olive oil. Then, evenly sprinkle sea salt, garlic powder, and ground black pepper over them for a balanced and savory taste.
  4. Grill the onions: Place the seasoned onion slices on the hot grill. Cook each side for 4 to 6 minutes until distinct grill lines appear and the onions become tender.
  5. Rest and serve: Remove the onions from the grill and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve as a delicious side or add them to your favorite dishes.

Notes

  • Use a grill pan if an outdoor grill is unavailable.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste or add fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for added flavor.
  • Grilled onions pair well with grilled meats, burgers, or salads.
  • Be careful when flipping onions to keep them intact.
