PERFECT GRILLED ONIONS HACK!

Steps:

• Heat your cast iron skillet over medium heat.
• Add the butter, onions and kosher salt. Cook stirring every few minutes.
• As soon as the onions start to look a little dry, add in a few tablespoons of water. This will both prevent the onions from drying out and keep them juicy and cooking at an even temperature. The water will evaporate as it cooks, leaving you with perfectly juicy onions. I usually add water twice during the cooking process.
• Continue to grill the onions uncovered until they are soft and golden brown. About 30 minutes.
• Serve warm or cold.

PERFECTLY GRILLED ONIONS (HOW TO GRILL ONIONS)

Steps:

• Preheat the grill for medium-high direct heat grilling, about 450-500 degrees F. While the grill preheats, prep the onions. Slice the onion in half lengthwise, leaving both the tip & root end in tact. Peel away the tough outer layers & discard. Slice lengthwise through each half 2-3 more times, taking care to leave the tip & root end in tact, creating 6-8 wedges. Place the sliced onions on a small baking sheet or large plate. Drizzle the oil over top, tossing to coat in the oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt & ground black pepper as desired, tossing again to coat.
• Place the onions on the grill, cut side facing down. Grill 7-8 minutes, flipping the onions halfway through, until tender & charred as desired. For larger onions, the total cook time may be closer to 10 minutes.
• , with a splash of balsamic & sprinkling of fresh herbs as desired. If serving on a grilled vegetable platter, drizzle with a light & bright herbaceous sauce, like pesto or chimichurri. Grilled onions are also amazing add-ons for any variety of meals, from grilled chicken bowls to the best-ever burgers to grilled pizza. Enjoy!

WHOLE GRILLED ONIONS

Steps:

• Salt and pepper the onion cavities and then fill each onion with 1 tablespoon of butter. Sprinkle the onions lightly with a bit more salt and pepper.
