Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Toss the asparagus spears with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place on the hot grill grates and grill for 6 to 8 minutes, or until charred but still bright green, flipping or rolling once.
  3. Squeeze with lemon juice or drizzle with lemon vinaigrette. Season to taste and serve.

Notes

  • Note: I grill lemon halves cut-side down until heated through and charred, about 3 minutes. Use the charred lemons for squeezing unless you're serving the asparagus with Lemon Vinaigrette.
