  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Remove the bottom thick woody ends of the asparagus, about ¼ of the way down, and discard.
  3. Place the asparagus spears in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Use your hands to toss the asparagus.
  4. Place the asparagus in a single layer on the grill grates perpendicular to the bars, and cook for 6-8 minutes with the lid open, rolling the asparagus to the other side halfway through using a spatula or tongs.
  5. Serve immediately with lemon wedges, if desired.

Notes

  • Storage: It’s best to enjoy grilled asparagus immediately after cooking. However you can store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
