Ingredients

  • 4 whole Large onions
  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
  • 2 cubes Beef bouillon cubes
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
  • 4 sheets Aluminum foil

Directions

Step 1

Peel the onions, leaving the root end intact to hold their shape during cooking.

Step 2

Using a small knife, cut a deep X into the top of each onion, making sure not to cut all the way through the bottom.

Step 3

Break the bouillon cubes into smaller pieces and carefully insert them into the X-shaped cuts on top of each onion.

Step 4

Sprinkle garlic powder and smoked paprika evenly over the onions.

Step 5

Place 1 tablespoon of butter on top of each onion, pressing it into the X-cut to allow the flavors to seep in as it melts.

Step 6

Tear 4 sheets of aluminum foil, each large enough to fully wrap an onion. Place one onion in the center of each sheet.

Step 7

Wrap the onions tightly with the foil, sealing the edges to prevent leaks.

Step 8

Preheat your BBQ grill to medium heat, about 375°F (190°C).

Step 9

Place the foil-wrapped onions directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and cook for 40-45 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Step 10

Carefully remove the foil packets from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.

Step 11

Unwrap the onions, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve warm as a delicious side dish.
