A 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.
