Description
A basic recipe for grilling fresh asparagus spears.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound asparagus, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Toss the trimmed asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Place the asparagus spears directly on the grill grates, perpendicular to the grates so they do not fall through.
- Grill for 5 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until the asparagus is tender-crisp and lightly charred.
- Remove from the grill and serve immediately.
Notes
- For easier handling, you can thread the asparagus onto skewers before oiling.
- You can squeeze fresh lemon juice over the finished asparagus for added flavor.
