Recipe View Carefully open the foil pouches and drizzle the flavorful cooking liquid over the onions. Serve hot as a side dish, or slice and add to sandwiches, salads, or hot dogs.

For an enhanced flavor, try adding a clove of minced garlic or a sprig of fresh thyme to each onion before wrapping in foil.
If grilling, place the foil pouches on a medium-heat grill for approximately the same cooking time, rotating occasionally for even cooking.
The cooking time may vary depending on the size and variety of your Vidalia onions. Check for tenderness with a fork before removing from the oven.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave before serving.
