Ingredients

  • 2 whole Yellow onions
  • 12 slices Bacon
  • 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
  • 12 pieces Wooden skewers (optional)
  • 1 spray can Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Peel the yellow onions and cut each onion into 6 equal wedges, for a total of 12 pieces.

Step 2

Wrap each onion wedge with a strip of bacon, ensuring that the bacon covers most of the surface. Use a wooden skewer or toothpick to secure the bacon in place if needed.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F) and lightly spray the grill grates with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground black pepper.

Step 5

Sprinkle the brown sugar and pepper mixture evenly over the bacon-wrapped onion wedges, patting gently to help it adhere.

Step 6

Place the bacon-wrapped onion wedges on the grill. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and the onion is tender.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the appetizers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm as an appetizer or snack. Enjoy!
