What each ingredient does
- White onions
- Become sweet and tender as their sugars soften and caramelize during cooking.
- Cayenne powder
- Adds sharp heat that penetrates the onion layers and balances the sweetness.
- Chili powder
- Adds warm chili heat and deepens the color of the browned surface.
- Vegetable oil
- Helps the spice mix cling to the onions and promotes even browning.
The step that matters
Cover each onion fully in foil. Wrapping each onion sealed in foil traps steam so the inside softens evenly, while the seasoned outer layers still brown over the coals.
