I’ve tried grilling onions before and didn’t have much luck until I tried this method alongside a bunch of veggies the other night so I had to share… maybe I’m late to the game and this is how other people already do it, but I’ve never seen it done this way so I figured I’d share in case someone else hadn’t either! I’ve frequently seen where onions are quartered and placed directly on the grill or you slice them up and put them on foil. But I prefer this method. They come out perfectly!
You’ll Need:
Onion(s), sliced to 1/2″ thickness
Bamboo Skewers
Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
Directions:
Soak skewers in water for at least 20 minutes. This prevents the skewers from burning while on the grill. Thread the onion slices onto the skewers. Brush onions with olive oil on all sides and edges. Season with salt & pepper. Grill over medium to medium-low until tender, turning once. Move skewers as little as possible.

I’ve never grilled pizza before, but I am certainly going to try it now. It looks great and keeps the heat outside the house instead of inside!
I’ve grilled onions this way and it does work well. The other method I love is to use a vegetable grill basket. It’s faster, too since you can spread the onions out in rings in the basket which allows the heat to do it’s job more quickly.
