Ingredients:

  • 2 large Vidalia onions (or other sweet onions), about 1 lb (450g) total
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (30ml)
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (15ml)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (5ml)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (2.5ml)
  • ½ teaspoon salt (2.5ml)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper (1.25ml)

Instructions:

  1. Peel the onions and cut them into ½-inch thick slices. Keep the rings intact if possible.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the onion slices and toss to coat evenly.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350-400°F or 175-200°C). Make sure the grill grates are clean.
  4. Arrange the onion slices on the grill grates in a single layer. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the onions are softened and slightly charred. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  5. If the onions are browning too quickly, move them to a cooler part of the grill or reduce the heat. Continue grilling until they are tender and caramelized. These grilled onions are best served immediately.
  6. Remove the grilled onions from the grill and serve immediately.
