Onion Kebabs

Finally figured out how to grill onion evenly without falling apart like Olympic rings...

Awesome! I want to try this.  What did you do with those onions after you pulled them?

That’s a great idea - I often lose one or  two rings to the Rockwood God’s when just throwing them on sliced.  I’ve always consider it seasoning my lump - but will be skewering like this going forward.  Thx

Did you season those veggies? Or just go naked?

So you were able to remove the skewers without the onions falling apart? Pretty cool, will try this on my next burger!

Oh, and that veggie platter looks mighty tasty!

Indeed. However, over the years we find grilled fruits and vegetables are well received at eggfests once people get into meat coma, because most cooks wanted to display their meat prowess!

Holy Smokes that looks good.  I agree with the others - grilled vegetables don't get enough respect. Same with grilled fruit.

Great idea, thanks for the post!

Shameless bump, to share how I grill onion

I'm curious on time/temp, and how you coordinated with the other veggies.

Didn't pay attention to time/temp, just aimed for char and caramelization. Onion done on flipped Grillgrate, some veg done on Blackstone IIRC. No coordination required since we prefer to serve the platter at RT.

@Canugghead, you skewer then cut?

Yes, thanks for pointing out the important step. I skewered at the equator first, then the top and bottom layers. You can also double skew each layer to avoid spinning.
