What Makes these Grilled Scallions Great

This recipe showcases the beauty of scallions – they’re a worthy green veggie and they deserve a chance to shine.

What’s the Difference Between Green Onions and Scallions?

Guess what? They’re actually the same thing! They can be harvested young without a bulb on the end (as pictured above) or allowed to mature and form a bulbous end.

They are available year-round and will be long and thin with a dark green side and a white end. Make sure to buy scallions without broken stems and with bright, white ends for the optimal level of freshness.

Tips for This Grilled Scallions Recipe:

• Make sure the grill is very hot before you cook the scallions as you want them to sear quickly.
