Grilling Asparagus
Grilling vegetables on the BBQ can bring out some smokey sweet flavores with a great grilled chared texture
Equipment
- 1 BBQ
- 1 BBQ tray, or mat tin foil will work also
Ingredients
- 1 bunch asparagus
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch pepper
- ½ lemon zested
- ½ lemon juiced
- 1 pinch garlic
Instructions
- line a BBQ baking sheet with tin foil
- grab 1 piece of asparagus and snap the bottom off, the vegetable will naturally snap at the right spot removing the tough part of the stem
- place the asparagus on the lined bbq sheet in a single layer.
- spray or drizzle with olive oil
- season with salt pepper and garlic
- roll a lemon on the counter to loosen the juices inside
- zest about half the lemon straight onto the asparagus the cut a juice half the lemon onto the vegetable
- your BBQ should have a medium to low flame
- place the sheet on the grill and allow to cook, flipping the vegetable and rotating their positions occasionally until the asparagus is fully cooked.
- about 10-15 minutes
- cooking time depends on how you like it, if you like a softer asparagus you can cook longer, I like them to still have a bit of a snap to them.
