Description

Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
- 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F or 190-200°C).
- Wash and trim the asparagus by snapping off the tough ends.
- In a bowl, toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Ensure the asparagus is evenly coated.
- Place the asparagus on the preheated grill grates, perpendicular to the grates to prevent them from falling through.
- Grill for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the asparagus is tender-crisp and slightly charred.
- Remove from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
- Optional: Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with minced garlic before serving.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- For thicker asparagus spears, you may need to grill them for a few minutes longer.
- If you don’t have a grill, you can also roast the asparagus in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10-15 minutes.
- Add a sprinkle of parmesan cheese or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
- Store leftover grilled asparagus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For best results, use fresh, in-season asparagus.
