“What makes these grilled blooming onions different is that they don’t have that fried coating. Instead, they are glazed with my favorite Head Country Bar-B-Q Sauce in Original while they cook, making them tender and flavorful. The onions are sprinkled with Head Country Championship Seasoning in Original, which has a robust blend of herbs and spices—and it’s a mix that I use on all my favorite grilled meats. This, combined with the Bar-B-Q sauce, makes for a sweet, tart, and savory combination of flavors that everyone will keep coming back to.” —Meghan
Preheat the grill to high heat, about 400 degrees F.
Make the sauce by combining all of the ingredients for the dip in a small bowl, whisking until smooth. Season to taste with salt.
To prep the onions, start by cutting off the stem. Turn the onion cut side down. Cut ½-inch from the root down, cutting the onion into about 12 to 16 sections. Be sure not to cut through the root. Flip over and gently separate the petals. Sprinkle all over with Head Country Championship Seasoning.
Add the onions to the hot grill, cooking until tender and lightly charred, about 15 minutes. After 10 minutes of grilling, brush with BBQ sauce all over. Make sure you apply a generous layer of sauce. Grill for the remaining 5 minutes to set the glaze.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with dipping sauce. Enjoy!
