This is a bit of a cultural thing. Grilling whole onions. It’s my favorite, I could eat 4 in one sitting.
Never done it, usually decomposed into wedges and grilled in a basket with other veggies like garlic, mushrooms, and golden beets. They do it with half onions at a Lebanese restaurant near me they are sweet and delicious!
What do you do with a whole onion?
Ive done slices and those small pearl onions, as well as green onions with carne asada.
But also your top image is upside down.
That looks delicious. I believe it was also very common to just bake whole onions in victorian times as a hearty meal on a string budget
Onions and bread in some areas of the middle east as a string budget meal. Last resort. That’s interesting stuff there. :)
Mexicans grill spring onions. Thought it was weird the first few times but I grew to love them.
Not sure why anyone downvoted you, but yeah. I even made a comment about it here lol. Spring onions with carne asada, toss some pieces into a corn tortilla with a spritz of lime, and mmm, you got a tasty taco there.
Really? Okay that’s new to me. I’ll have to try this.
Here’s description and some pics.

That depends heavily on what you plan on serving them with. If it’s being served with something that would pair with a cooked and softly charred onion, hell yes.
If you’re just planning on eating a whole grilled onion by itself though, you’re off your rocker.
They’re typically server with veggie/beef/chicken skewers. Personally, I don’t mind eating them by themselves lol. I love grilled onions, too much.
