How to Make Grilled Green Onions

Wash 1 pound of green onions thoroughly.
Place whole green onions on a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
Dot the onions with 2 tablespoons of butter.
Sprinkle generously with 1 teaspoon garlic salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
Fold the foil over the onions, crimping the edges to create a sealed packet. This will steam the onions as they grill.
Place the foil packet on a preheated grill over medium heat. Grill for 10-15 minutes, or until the onions are tender and slightly caramelized, turning the packet halfway through. Keep warm on the grill until ready to serve.
Carefully open the foil packet – steam will be hot! Serve immediately.
