Incredible Charred Grilled Onions on a Foreman Grill
Grilled onions are one of the easiest vegetables to prepare, and the flavors are incredible. There is something about a charred onion that makes any dish taste better. When you grill onions on a George Foreman Grill they become soft, sweet, and caramelized.
Ingredients
- 1 large Vidalia onion or similar sweet onion
- extra virgin olive oil EVOO
Instructions
- Heat your Foreman Grill to high for approximately 5 minutes.
- Slice the root end of the onion off. Peel back the skin to the stem end to reveal the white flesh. Slice the onion into 1/4 to 1/2 inch solid rounds.
- Coat both sides of the onions generously with olive oil.
- Place the rounds on the grill and close the top. Cook for 5 minutes. Then, carefully flip the onions with a spatula so that they remain intact.
- Grill for an additional 5 to 7 minutes. The flat surfaces will char and get black grill marks, and the centers will be soft but not mushy.
- Remove the onions to a cutting board and either serve whole or in rings.
- If adding to another dish, chop the onions to the desired size for the recipe.
Notes
- You can use any sweet onion that is available in your local grocery or farmer’s market.
- Sweet onions tend to be somewhat elliptical in shape with more surface area than rounder onions when sliced. And, they are inherently sweeter than yellow, white, or red onions, making them perfect for caramelizing on the grill.
- Onions don’t need any seasoning when grilling; it just needs a little oil.
