Grilled Onions (How to Grill Onions Perfectly Every Time)
Learn how to grill onions perfectly every time! These easy Grilled Onions are smoky, sweet, tender, and ready in about 10 minutes using onion rings or wedges.
Ingredients
- 1 onion red, yellow or white
- ½ tablespoon extra virgin olive oil sub avocado oil
- kosher salt and ground black pepper
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat the grill to 450℉ and clean the grill grates. Thickly slice 1 onion (about ¾ inch thick) into circles OR cut into wedges.
- Season: Place onions on a baking sheet or large plate and drizzle with ½ tablespoon extra virgin olive oil. Using hands, rub the oil over all sides of the onions (carefully keeping all of the rings in tact). Sprinkle with kosher salt and ground black pepper.
- Grill: Cook on direct heat (directly over flame) for 3-4 minutes per side, or until each side is nicely charred.
- Serve: Remove from grill and enjoy immediately - we love them on a perfectly grilled cheeseburger!
Notes
- Cooking time: The longer you grill the onion, the softer it will become. If you prefer more crispy onions, cook closer to the 6 minute mark. If you want a softer, more charred onion, then cook closer to 8 minutes.
- Storage: keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
