Simple Grilled Asparagus
Our method is so simple that it barely deserves to be written out as a recipe. Just toss the stalks in olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and throw them directly on the hottest part...
Ingredients
- 1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Directions
- Toss asparagus with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place over a grill preheated to high heat and cook, turning occasionally, until well-charred and tender, 5 to 8 minutes. If desired, cut lemon in half and place cut side down on grill until charred, about 3 minutes. Transfer asparagus to a large plate, drizzle with remaining olive oil, sprinkle with lemon (if desired), and serve immediately. This Recipe Appears In
