Ingredients
- 2 large onions, sliced into rings
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Prepare the Onions: Slice the onions into rings about 1/4 inch thick to ensure even grilling and softness.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat to achieve a good char without burning.
- Brush with Butter and Season: Lightly brush the onion slices with melted butter and sprinkle with salt to enhance flavor and help with caramelization.
- Grill Onions: Place the onion slices directly on the grill grates and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side until they are soft and have visible char marks.
- Serve: Remove from the grill and serve the onions warm as a side dish or topping for burgers, steaks, or sandwiches.
Notes
- Use yellow or sweet onions for best flavor and caramelization.
- Make sure not to slice onions too thin to prevent them from falling apart on the grill.
- You can add herbs like thyme or rosemary for additional aroma before grilling.
- If you don’t have a grill, use a grill pan or broiler as an alternative method.
- Brush with olive oil instead of butter for a vegan variation.
