Peel the onions and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Keep the slices intact by carefully inserting a toothpick horizontally through each slice to hold the layers together while grilling.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper to create the honey mustard glaze.
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350–400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Brush one side of each onion slice with the honey mustard glaze. Carefully place the onion slices glazed-side down on the preheated grill.
Cook for 6–8 minutes, then use tongs or a grill spatula to flip the onion slices. Brush the grilled side with the remaining glaze.
Grill for an additional 6–7 minutes, or until the onions are tender and have grill marks. Be careful not to overcook them to prevent burning.
Remove the onion slices from the grill and discard any toothpicks used for stability.
Serve the grilled honey mustard onions warm as a topping for burgers, or enjoy them as a flavorful side dish.
