Grilled Asparagus – a simple, step-by-step tutorial on how to grill asparagus perfectly every time! A super easy side dish recipe!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bunch of fresh asparagus
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- kosher salt
- ground black pepper
Instructions
- Clean grill grates and preheat the grill to 450 degrees F.
- Take asparagus and gently bend each one toward the white end; the asparagus will naturally snap in half where the tough part (that is too tough to eat) meets the tender part. Alternative: you can trim off the bottom inch or two with a sharp knife.
- Place asparagus on baking sheet and drizzle with some olive oil.
- Use your hands to massage oil into the asparagus so each piece is lightly coated and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Place asparagus perpendicular to the grill grates so they don’t fall through and cook on direct heat for a total of 5-6 minutes, use tongs to move the asparagus around once or twice so all sides cook.
- Remove and serve immediately.
Notes
- Storage: place in an airtight container and keep in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
