- Slice the onions in half and place on the grill grate next to the brats.

Notes
Nutritional values will be an estimate as the size and kind of bratwurst you choose will determine the actual values.
We chose German bratwurst from a German deli. You don't have to do that. Feel free to buy your favorite bratwurst at your local grocery store.
Cook to temperature, not necessarily to time.
Each bratwurst is also a different size. Ours were quite thick which meant our time to cook was longer. Always check time early.
