Grilled Asparagus

Vegetables are just vegetables unless they are grilled or roasted!

About this recipe

Vegetables are not my favorite food, but they are always nourishing, and when cooked properly, they can be delicious.  Grilling is one of ways to bring out the best flavors and textures in vegetables.  Grilled asparagus is one of the best examples of this.

Ingredients

  • fresh asparagus
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  • Break off the fibrous end of each spear.
  • Rinse in cold water and place on a paper towel to dry.
  • Roll the spears in olive oil.  Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Grill over high heat for 2 minutes.  Flip or roll to the other "side" and grill for 2 additional minutes. 
  • Serve immediately.
