Traeger Smoked Onions
These smoked onions are great for sandwiches and salads, because they add a subtle smoky flavor to any dish. They can also be used as a topping for pizza or burgers and taste great served alongside a juicy steak.
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 4 to 6 medium onions
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¾ teaspoon pepper
- ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 to 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Preheat the smoker or pellet grill to 225°F.
- Peel the onions and slice them in half. Place the onions in a baking pan.
- Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cumin (or use your favorite rub).
- Top the onion halves with a dollop of butter
- Smoke for 2-½ to 3 hours or until soft. The onions will get golden brown and caramelized on the bottom. If you want both sides of the onions to get caramelized, turn them over after 1-½ hours into the cooking time.
Notes
Smoke time will vary depending on the size of the onions.
