Fire Roasted Onions

Fire-roasted onions are onions that have been exposed to direct flame or high heat, giving them a smoky flavor and tender texture. This process is often done commercially to create a convenient ingredient for various dishes.

Manufacturers use fire-roasted onions to add a smoky, sweet, and savory flavor to foods. They are commonly found in dips, salsas, pizzas, frozen appetizers, and prepared meals.

Fire-roasted onions are a vegetable and are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They contain vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated onions and their components, but specific evaluations for 'fire-roasted onions' as a distinct ingredient are not typically noted. At typical consumption levels, they are considered a healthy addition to the diet.
