Yes, onions can be grilled on a barbecue grill, and they are delicious when cooked this way. Grilling onions adds a wonderful smoky flavor and enhances their natural sweetness.

Here's a simple method for grilling onions on a barbecue grill:
Grilled Onions:
Ingredients:
- Large onions (any variety you prefer)
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Preheat your barbecue grill to medium-high heat.
Peel the onions and slice them into thick rounds or keep them whole if they are smaller onions.
Brush the onion slices or whole onions with olive oil, coating them evenly on both sides. This will help prevent sticking and add flavor.
Sprinkle salt and pepper over the oiled onions.
Place the onions directly on the grill grates.
Grill the onions for 3-4 minutes per side or until they develop grill marks and become tender. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the heat of your grill and the thickness of the onion slices.
Once the onions are grilled to your desired level of doneness, remove them from the grill.
Serve the grilled onions as a tasty side dish or use them in your favorite recipes.
Grilled onions are a fantastic addition to grilled meats, burgers, hot dogs, fajitas, salads, and even sandwiches. The grilling process caramelizes the natural sugars in the onions, resulting in a delicious and slightly charred flavor. Give it a try and enjoy the wonderful taste of grilled onions!
