Best Summertime Grilled Onions Recipes

PERFECT GRILLED ONIONS HACK!

Steps:

• Heat your cast iron skillet over medium heat.
• Add the butter, onions and kosher salt. Cook stirring every few minutes.
• As soon as the onions start to look a little dry, add in a few tablespoons of water. This will both prevent the onions from drying out and keep them juicy and cooking at an even temperature. The water will evaporate as it cooks, leaving you with perfectly juicy onions. I usually add water twice during the cooking process.
• Continue to grill the onions uncovered until they are soft and golden brown. About 30 minutes.
• Serve warm or cold.
