Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large sweet onions, Vidalia or Maui
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tablespoons avocado or olive oil
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Slice the stem from each onion and peel.
- Slice just a bit of the root end off of the onion so you can rest the onion on a flat bottom. This will prevent it from wobbling.
- Use a melon baller or sharp knife to cut the core out of the onions. You’ll end up with a cavity about 1 inch across that goes almost to the bottom of the onion.
- Sprinkle half of the salt and pepper into each onion cavity. Drizzle 1 tbsp of oil into each onion cavity.
- Drizzle or brush 1 tbsp of balsamic vinegar over and into each onion.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F.
- Brush the grill grates with oil and place the onions directly on the grill grate.
- Close the lid and cook for about 45 minutes or until the onions are juicy, tender, and caramelized.
- Slice each onion in half and serve!
