Steps

45-50 mins

1

Cut the top and bottom off the onion and peel off the brown layers of skin. Then cut the onion into 8 wedges, making sure not to cut all the way through the onion.
2

Gently separate out the wedges as much as you can without breaking any of them. Then put the onion on top of a large piece of foil.
3

Generously drizzle the onion with oil. Then generously sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Then generously drizzle with sriracha if using.
4

Grate the cheese and stuff it into the crevices of the onion. Get as much as you can in there without breaking the onion. I can usually get half a block in there.
5

Tightly wrap the onion in the foil, leaving no gaps. Then place it directly on the barbeque and put the lid on for 30 minutes.
6

Then remove the lid and continue to cook for another 15-20 minutes. You can cook some other things too during that time.
7

Transfer the onion to a plate, it will leak a lot of juice. Carefully open the foil, divide the onion up and enjoy.
