Grilled Blooming Onion Recipe

Grilled Blooming Onion

1. Preheat grill to 400ºF.
2. Peel the onion and trim the root end to remove any hairs. Slice the pointy stem end of the onion off. Turn the onion so the root end is facing up. Leaving a 1/2-inch rim around the root, make 4 cuts into the onion, down to the stem end. This results in 4 sections of the onion. Repeating the same motion, make 3 more cuts into each quarter section of the onion, from root to stem end. Turn the onion over to reveal 12 onion petals. Use your fingers to separate the layers of petals as needed.
3. Set onion petal side-up in a foil-lined, grill-safe 13”x 9” pan. Evenly brush butter over top onions so that they’re well-coated. Season one onion with half of the spices, then season the other onion with the other half of the spices. If there’s too much excess butter in pan, be sure to drain some off before moving pan to grill.
4. Place pan in grill and cook for ~45 mins, or until top onion petals are lightly browned and tender. Remove from grill and let cool for a few minutes. Serve with Grilled Blooming Onion Dipping Sauce. Enjoy!
