Grilled Asparagus
Tender, smoky, and sweet, grilled asparagus is the perfect 15-minute side dish for any meal!
Ingredients
- 1 bunch Asparagus, about 1 pound
- 1 each Lemon, juiced
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Garlic, minced
- As Needed Salt and Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium heat.
- Remove the woody ends of the asparagus by snapping the ends off. Bend each stalk gently about ⅔ of the way down the stalk until it naturally breaks where the woody part begins. Discard the ends.
- Whisk the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt (about ½ teaspoon) and pepper (about ¼ teaspoon) together in a large bowl. Add the trimmed asparagus or pour the mixture over the asparagus, and toss until well coated.
- Place the asparagus on the grill perpendicular to the grates so they don't fall through. Grill until the asparagus begins to char and the stalks are just getting tender, about 3 to 5 minutes, depending in the thickness of the asparagus. Be sure to turn / rotate the asparagus around the halfway point of the cooking so they char on all sides.
- Remove to a plate and serve immediately.
