Instructions
- Clean and wash your asparagus and pat dry. Snap off the woody ends at the base of the spears - you can feel the fibrous part with your hands, and it should naturally snap off. Alternatively, use a sharp knife to trim asparagus ends. (see note 1)
- Lay a piece of foil in front of you and place asparagus spears in a single layer. (see note 2)
- Take another piece of aluminum foil, place it on top and wrap it to form a tightly sealed parcel.
- Place the asparagus foil packet onto a hot grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side until the asparagus has softened slightly
- Remove the asparagus from the heat and let rest for 3-5 minutes.
- Serve with your favourite topping.
Notes
- Clean the asparagus thoroughly. Pay special attention to the spears.
- If you're cooking for a large crowd, cook the asparagus in batches (make individual foil packs). Don't overcrowd the foil packet with too many pieces (I place no more than 10 spears in each packet) - they will end up mushy.
- Use a grill pan if you don't have a bbq. This method also works in the oven.
- Don't overcook the asparagus. Asparagus is ready when it starts to soften slightly and feel tender.
- Be careful not to burn yourself when grilling the asparagus in foil.
