Preparing the Asparagus

• Before grilling the asparagus, rinse the spears under water to remove any grit and dirt.
• Use your fingers to snap off the bottoms. It will naturally break where the woody part of the asparagus ends and the tender, edible part begins. You can also lay them all out on a cutting board and cut off the woody ends to save time. Cut about 2/3 of your way down the stalk.
• Dry the spears off with paper towels or clean kitchen towels.

How to Grill Asparagus

Once you have prepared the asparagus it is really simple to grill. Follow these easy steps below for the most delicious grilled asparagus. Even the kids will love it!

• Lay the asparagus on a baking sheet. Add olive oil, salt and pepper to the asparagus and toss to coat. You can do this ahead of time or right before it goes on the grill. The spears are sturdy so they won’t wilt or soften once coated.

• Make sure you clean the grates before you cook your asparagus.
• Warm grill to low heat or indirect cooking.
• Place asparagus on the grill, perpendicular to the grates, making sure that they are spread out.

• Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning 3-4 times. Asparagus is done when they are nicely charred and fork tender. 
• Remove from the grill and sprinkle on paremesan cheese to taste.

• Serve immediately.

• Enjoy!
