Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Large onions
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cubes Beef bouillon cubes
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 4 sheets Aluminum foil
Instructions
Peel the onions, leaving the root end intact to hold their shape during cooking.
Using a small knife, cut a deep X into the top of each onion, making sure not to cut all the way through the bottom.
Break the bouillon cubes into smaller pieces and carefully insert them into the X-shaped cuts on top of each onion.
Sprinkle garlic powder and smoked paprika evenly over the onions.
Place 1 tablespoon of butter on top of each onion, pressing it into the X-cut to allow the flavors to seep in as it melts.
Tear 4 sheets of aluminum foil, each large enough to fully wrap an onion. Place one onion in the center of each sheet.
Wrap the onions tightly with the foil, sealing the edges to prevent leaks.
Preheat your BBQ grill to medium heat, about 375°F (190°C).
Place the foil-wrapped onions directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and cook for 40-45 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Carefully remove the foil packets from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Unwrap the onions, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve warm as a delicious side dish.
