Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet onions Mayan Sweets, Vidalia, Walla Walla, Sunbrero, Imperial Valley Sweets, Super Sweets, or Maui
  • olive oil
  • Sea salt
  • Freshly cracked pepper

Instructions

  • Peel the onions, slice off the ends, and cut into 1/4 inch thick slices. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Let set for a few minutes so the oil can seep through the onion to oil both sides.
  • Place discs of onions directly on grill grates over med-high direct heat on a gas grill or directly over hot coals. Onions can also be placed on a grill pan for easier containment. Once browned and caramelized on one side, carefully turn over with a spatula or tongs and brown other side.  When done, transfer grilled onions to a platter and keep warm until ready to serve.
