Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large sweet onions (such as Vidalia or Walla Walla)
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary sprigs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat (around 375°F/190°C). Alternatively, you can use an indoor grill pan over medium-high heat.
Peel the onions and slice them into thick rounds, approximately 3/4 to 1 inch thick. Keep the rounds intact to ensure they hold together during grilling.
Brush both sides of each onion slice with olive oil, ensuring they are well-coated to prevent sticking on the grill.
Sprinkle the onion slices evenly with salt and black pepper.
Carefully place one rosemary sprig on each onion slice, gently pressing it into the surface to infuse flavor.
Place the onion slices directly onto the preheated grill grates. Grill for about 10-12 minutes on one side, then carefully flip using a spatula or tongs to grill the other side for an additional 10-12 minutes. The onions should be tender and slightly caramelized with char marks.
Remove the onions from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar for added flavor, if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish to complement grilled meats, hearty salads, or vegetarian mains.
