Caramelized Sweet Vidalia Onions On The Smoker

Ingredients

• 2 large Vidalia onions
• 2 Tablespoons olive oil
• 4 Tablespoons butter, unsalted
• 2 Tablespoons Chupacabra Chop Haus seasoning

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the Yoder Smokers YS640 to 250F.

2. 2

   Slice the onions by removing the top and bottom ends, then slice in half. Peel off the skin. Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out a small divot in the center of each onion half.

3. 3

   Place the onions into a heat-safe dish, scoop side up. Drizzle some olive oil over each onion. Sprinkle the onion with the Chupacabra Chop Haus seasoning, add a pat of butter atop each onion, and sprinkle over a little more of the seasoning.

4. 4

   Place in the smoker, (I went with the lower rack as I was making another recipe on the top rack).

5. 5

   Smoke for about 2-2.5 hours. This will depend greatly on the size of the onion. The onion should be pierced really easily with a sharp knife.

6. 6

   Remove from the smoker, remove the outer “skin” on each onion as that will dry out and get leathery/tough

7. 7

   Now, use the smoked onions in your favorite recipe, or yes, serve as a side dish.
