Whole green onions char quickly on a hot grill, turning tender and sweet while their edges crisp and blacken. A simple garlic-lemon oil drizzled on afterward adds brightness and depth, making this a fast side dish for grilled meats, fish, or a summer spread.

Ingredients

  • 2 bunches green onions, root ends trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped, for garnish

Method

  1. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

  3. Rinse and pat dry the green onions, then trim any ragged or dried tips from the green ends.

  4. Toss the green onions with 1 tablespoon of the lemon garlic oil to lightly coat.

  5. Arrange the green onions perpendicular to the grill grates and grill, turning occasionally, until charred in spots and tender, 5 to 7 minutes.

  6. Transfer the grilled green onions to a serving platter and drizzle with the remaining lemon garlic oil.

  7. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve warm.
