Foil Wrapped Onions Food

EASY GRILLED ONIONS IN FOIL

Steps:

• Heat grill to 450°F.
• Cut a piece of heavy duty foil (or two pieces if using regular foil) approximately 22 inches long.
• Place thinly sliced onion in the center of the foil and toss with onion and garlic powder, and salt and pepper. Dot the top with butter.
• Pull the long edges of the foil up, folding them onto each other to create a seal. Then fold in the short edges of the foil to create the packet, making sure all edges are sealed, and leaving enough space in the foil packet for the onions to move when you shake it.
• Place the foil packet on the grill over direct heat (but not a direct flame). You can also place it over indirect heat to reduce any risk of burning the onions. Cook for 25-30 minutes, shaking the foil packet halfway through. You can also gently open and stir the onions around halfway through.
• Gently open the foil packet, allowing the steam to escape. Stir the onions before serving and allow to cool slightly.

UNCLE WILSON'S GRILLED ONIONS

Steps:

• Peel and wash the onions. With the point of a small, sharp knife, cut a 1-inch core from the top of each onion and make shallow slits in a circle around the top. Wrap 2 slices of bacon horizontally around each onion, and secure them with toothpicks. Then put 1 teaspoon of butter in each core. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place each onion on a square of aluminum foil and bring the edges together at the top, leaving a small opening for steam to escape. Put the foil-wrapped onions on the grill and cook for 1 hour, or until the onions are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife. You can also bake in the oven at 350 degrees F for 1 hour. Cool the onions for a few minutes then unwrap and cut into quarters to serve.

FOIL-WRAPPED ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Mix together the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce and lime juice in a large bowl. Peel and quarter the onions, leaving the root- end intact so the onions don't fall apart while cooking.
• Cut six 6-inch squares of aluminum foil. Put 1 piece of foil on a medium bowl and top with another piece of foil for double-wrapping. Place 2 chiles in the center of each piece of foil and top each chile with the cut onion. Fold up the foil of each packet to form a cup. Pour 1/3 of marinade on top of onions and chiles. Enclose the onions tightly with foil and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet, making sure the opening is on the top. Repeat with the remaining onions, chiles and marinade.
• Roast until the onions are caramelized and the chiles are tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool for 10 minutes. Open the packages slightly before serving.

BAKED FOIL WRAPPED MARINATED RED ONION

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Make 4 slices across each red onion within a 1/2 inch of cutting through them. Into these incisions, place 1 piece of bacon and 1 slice of garlic. Place each onion in the center of a piece of foil. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
• In a small mixing bowl, combine the thyme, vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper. Spoon over each onion. Bring the corners of the foil up over the onion and twist into a tight package. Place on a sheet tray and bake for 1 hour. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before removing foil. To serve, heat by fanning on a hot well-oiled grill or in the oven. Serve with a smile.

TIN FOIL RED POTATOES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Slice red potatoes so they are about an 1/2 inch thick.*.
• Chop onions into large peices.
• Put the olive oil into a bowl.
• Put all of the onions and potatoes into the bowl with olive oil.
• Stir the veggies (preferably with a slotted spoon) until they are all equally coated with olive oil.
• Take the cookie sheet and place some tin foil on the sheet.
• Make a cross with two sheets of tin foil on the foil covered cookie sheet (make sure you have enough foil to create a pouch for your potatoes and onions).
• **I think Reynolds sells pre made aluminum foil pouches -- I didn't have them handy but my homemade pouch worked fine.**.
• Transfer the onions and potatoes to the center of the tin foil cross, making sure to drain the excess olive oil (why the slotted spoon comes in handy!).
• When you have all the veggies in the middle sprinkle your seasoning mixture on the potatoes, putting as much on as you like.
• After seasoning, take all four sides of the tin foil cross and bring them up and into the center, making a little pouch for the potatoes and onions to cook inches.
• Place in a 400 degree oven for 30 minutes.
• Potatoes will be done when you can stick a fork through a potato without resistance.
• *Adjust cooking time to fit the size of the potatoes you want.

ROASTED (OR GRILLED) WHOLE ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F or get a heap of coals glowing in your grill.
• Carefully make 8 cuts down to, but not through the root end of each onion. To keep from cutting too far, it helps to put the onion inside a canning ring.
• Working with one onion at a time, place an onion onto a square of heavy duty aluminum foil.
• Very gently, push your finger into the top of the onion, to loosen the wedges enough to pour the bouillon granules into the center of the onion.
• Drizzle the onion with 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce.
• Smear 1/2 tablespoon of butter on top of the onion and into the cuts.
• Gather the corners of the foil and wrap tightly. It will look like a giant hershey kiss.
• To bake in the oven:.
• Place all wrapped onions into a baking dish so that they will stay upright.
• Roast in a 400F oven for 45 to 70 minutes or until soft.
• To roast on a grill:.
• Place the onions, individually on the grill grate. Rotate the location of the onions occasionally, being careful to keep them upright. Roast in a covered, hot grill 45 to 70 minutes or until soft.
