Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

    Peel the red onions and slice them into 1/2 inch thick rounds. Make sure to keep the rings intact for grilling.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Onions

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme. Add the onion slices and toss until they are evenly coated with the marinade. Let them sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C). Make sure the grill grates are clean and well oiled to prevent sticking.

  2. 4

    Grill the Onions

    Place the marinated onion slices on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they are tender and have nice grill marks. Avoid moving them too much to ensure they cook evenly.

  3. 5

    Remove and Serve

    Once grilled to perfection, remove the onions from the grill and let them cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
