Slice the white onions into ½-inch-thick rounds, keeping the layers intact to hold the structure during grilling.
2
In a small bowl, combine the cayenne powder, chili powder, and Greek seasoning to create the spice rub.
3
Brush both sides of the onion slices generously with vegetable oil using a pastry brush or paper towel.
4
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over both sides of each oiled onion slice, pressing gently to help it adhere.

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat until hot.

Place the seasoned onion slices directly on the grill grates or in the grill pan, working in batches if necessary to avoid crowding.
