How to Cut Onion Wedges

Red and white onion wedges are ideal on a barbecue skewer.

Cutting onions can be challenging: a harder onion makes it easy to cut the desired shapes. Use a sharp knife for optimally shaped wedges and always wash the onion thoroughly before cutting. Onion wedges are ideal on the barbecue grill and also in side dishes such as roasted red onions, onions and carrots with beef and broccoli, and also in stews and soups.

Things You'll Need

• Sharp knife
• Cutting board

Instructions

1. Place the clean, dried onion on a cutting board. Remove the rough exterior shell, but be careful not too remove too much.

2. Cut the onion in half from the top to the bottom. The end result should resemble the two halves of an orange. Cut this portion into three or four wedges or more depending on the size of the onion.

3. Place the onions on the grill, in your favorite appetizer or toss them in the base of a roaster cooking a delicious turkey or roast.
