grilled onions

Seared savory rings

Grilled onions are onions cooked on a grill or flat cooking surface until softened and caramelized.

The heat breaks down their sharp bite into something sweeter and more mellow.

They appear as a topping for burgers, steaks, and sausages: I'll have mine with grilled onions and peppers.

The term covers both charred slices from an open grill and the heap of translucent ribbons from a griddle.
