How to Grill Green Onions

Trim the bottom of green onions before grilling.

Grilling vegetables is an alternative to cooking them on the stove top or in the microwave. Fixing green onions on the grill allows the onion to cook without drying out in an oven or overcooking in the microwave. Place the onions on a grill sheet to keep them from falling between the bars on the grill. Adding moisture to the onions allows them to cook without singe marks.

Things You'll Need

• Paring knife
• Paper towels
• Bowl
• Olive oil
• Salt
• Pepper
• Grill sheet
• Tongs

Instructions

1. Trim the bottom of the green onions with a paring knife. If the tops are long, trim them also.

2. Rinse the onions clean. Dry them with paper towels.

3. Place the onions in a large bowl, and pour 4 tsp. of olive oil over four to five onions. Toss the onions in the oil to cover them completely. Add salt and pepper to taste.

4. Heat the grill to low. Place the onions on a grill sheet, and set the sheet onto the hot grill.

5. Turn the onions with tongs after a minute. Continue turning each minute until four minutes have passed, then remove the onions from the grill.
