Servings: 4
Equipment
- 1 Grill
Ingredients
- 1 bunch asparagus medium to thick, woody ends trimmed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- lemon juice for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Trim the woody ends off the asparagus by snapping or cutting where the stalk naturally bends.
- Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss well to coat.
- Preheat your grill to high heat.
- Place the asparagus on the grill, perpendicular to the grates so they don’t fall through. Grill for 3–5 minutes, turning with tongs, until tender and lightly charred.
- Serve warm, with a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
