Barbequed Onions – Great for Summer Grilling!

This is a wonderful way to use Vidalia Onions while they are in season.  I love Vidalias and use them as often as possible during the growing season.

Use whatever barbeque sauce you like best.  I think Masterpiece Original has a wonderful smoky flavor and gives the onion just enough barbeque flavor.

Try using these generous slices on a burgers, bean burgers or as a side dish.  I have even cut up left over onions in pasta dishes and on top of salads.

 

Ingredients & Preparation

 

• 1 lbs. Vidalia onions
• ½ cup barbeque sauce
• salt and pepper to taste
• ¼ tsp. garlic powder
• 1 Tbsp. grape seed oil

 

Step 1: Prepare the onions

Slice onions in ½ inch thick slices and brush with grape seed oil.

Step 2: Sauté the sprouts

Place on hot grill and cook until crisp tender.  (About 5 minutes on each side.)  Spread with barbeque sauce and continue to grill until BBQ  flavor is incorporated into the onion.  (About 5 minutes.)

Grill onions ahead and freeze for another meal.  I use a “Food Saver” to shrink wrap most everything I freeze.  It will keep longer and there will be no frost burn.  These thaw quickly by placing the sealed bag in a little warm water.
