These were delicious. I served them with steak. Used garlic pepper instead of garlic salt and black pepper. We'll be enjoying these many more times. I think of so many things they will be good with.

I used the fancy garlic salt from Penzey's and it was yummy! My onions cooked in less than 45 minutes on high heat. Way less time. Like 25 minutes or less (I wasn't keeping track).

Vidalia onions are in season, and this recipe made them taste like sugar they were so sweet! I basically did exactly as the recipe read, but used the already mixed garlic pepper. I had planned to soak the onion as some suggested, but I forgot... I think since they were Vidalias and pretty sweet, it didn't really matter. We only had them on the grill for about 30 mins or so and they were very tender and sweet. I sprayed the foil well, so there was no sticking. So good and easy!!

Oddly enough, ours burnt on the side where I spilled too much garlic salt, and only there. Very odd. But delicious, and the burning is user error entirely. This is a simple seasoning, and you could dress it up to suit your menu. Thanks for sharing!

This is very easy and attractive. The onion comes out tender and delicious, however I wish I had added additional seasonings. I followed other reviewers’ suggestion and soaked it in ice water for 30 minutes and also buttered the foil.

LOVE this! It was quick and easy and totally sweet and delicious. (in fact, it was *super* quick...it was done in about 30 minutes on my grill, not 45, so check yours before the time is up!) I made it exactly as the recipe stated, but I like that it could be easily customized with different herbs or spices. I took a suggestion from another reviewer and cut my onion in a soup ladle to keep from slicing through the whole thing...it worked perfectly! I'm looking forward to doing this one again....thanks for a great recipe.

Yummy! A few changes I like to make: Instead of placing the seasonings inside of the onion, I sprinkle it all on top and allow it to melt down. I also add quite a bit of seasoned salt on top for a little kick and extra flavor. Don't expect it to be perfectly onion-shaped in the end. Stick a fork in it and pass it around for everyone to enjoy. Enjoy it with a beer during a backyard BBQ. Perfect! My guests say it's so good, it's like candy.

Delicious! I sprayed the foil with Pam and used lite butter along with minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Be sure to poke some holes in the foil or it will be a soggy mess.

Great recipe! I soaked for 10-15 min in ice water and it did help them 'bloom.' I made four different flavors and served them on a round platter with a sour cream, horseradish and smoky paprika dipping sauce. The flavors were 1) butter and garlic 2) cajun seasoning and butter 3) montreal steak seasoning and butter and 4) fresh herbs and butter. Delicious and beautiful. My guests raved!
