Equipment
- Grill tongs
Ingredients
- 8 green onions scallions
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- While the grill is heating, prepare the green onions by trimming off the root ends and any wilted or discolored tops.
- Place the green onions in a large bowl and drizzle them with olive oil, tossing to coat evenly.
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Once the grill is hot, place the green onions directly on the grill grates.
- Grill the green onions for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they develop charred grill marks and begin to soften. Be sure to keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Transfer to a serving platter once the green onions are grilled to your desired level of tenderness and char.
Notes
- Make sure the grill is hot before putting on the onions, so they can get nice grill marks.
- Give the onions space on the grill so they can get crispy and cooked through.
- Season with any other seasonings you like or keep it simple with salt and pepper.
