Grilled asparagus with lemon
Sunday, August 2nd, 2009A super quick, easy, healthy recipe that takes less than 10 minutes. It’s so easy, we almost didn’t post it!
Total Time: < 15 minutes
Ingredients
- asparagus spears (6-8 per person)
- fresh lemon
- sea salt
- black pepper
- olive oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat the grill, low-medium heat (you’ll need to experiment with the temperature for your own grill). Or you can use a grill pan indoors.
- Wash the asparagus spears and slice (or hand snap) off the tough ends of the spears.
- Put them on a plate and season with salt and pepper.
- Spray with olive oil to coat; then using a fork, roll the spears over so some of the uncoated side shows; then spray again.
- Put them on the grill for around 4 minutes, then roll the spears over with your tongs, and let them grill for another 4 minutes. This should give you spears that are cooked but still slightly crisp.
- Plate the spears and squeeze lemon juice on them. DONE!
You may have to try this a couple times to get the heat and cooking time right on your own grill. If you have lemon salt, that could be a good alternative if you don’t have a lemon handy; although we haven’t tried that yet.
