Ingredients Needed
- 2 large onions (yellow or white, based on preference)
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil - Look for olive oils that are labeled as extra virgin, cold-pressed, and unfiltered for the highest quality.
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Optional: other seasonings like garlic powder, paprika, or balsamic vinegar for added flavor
How to Make Fried Onions on Blackstone
Preparation: Begin by peeling the onions and slicing them into thin rings or half-moons, depending on your preference.
Preheat the Blackstone Griddle: Turn your Blackstone griddle on to medium-high heat. Allow it to heat up for about 5 minutes. You want a nice, even heat to cook the onions thoroughly without burning them.
Cooking the Onions: Once the griddle is heated, spread the olive oil or place the butter onto the griddle surface. Ensure it's evenly coated to prevent the onions from sticking. Add the sliced onions to the griddle, spreading them out evenly. Season with salt and pepper, and if desired, any additional seasonings you prefer.
Fry to Perfection: Let the onions cook without disturbing them for about 5 minutes, or until the bottom starts to turn golden brown. With a spatula, stir and flip the onions to ensure even cooking. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until they reach your desired level of caramelization. This usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on how hot your griddle is and how thick your onion slices are.

Serve and Enjoy: Once the onions have reached a perfect caramelized state, with rich golden edges and a soft, slightly sweet interior, remove them from the griddle and serve immediately.

Fried onions make an excellent topping for burgers, steaks, hot dogs, or can be a delicious addition to salads, sandwiches, or as a side dish.
Remember, the key to perfect fried onions on a Blackstone griddle is patience and proper heat management.
