Moms Grilled Aspargus Recipes

THE BEST GRILLED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium heat. Chop the tough, woody ends off the asparagus (about 1 inch) and peel another inch of the stalks.
• Whisk the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together in a large bowl. Add the asparagus and toss until well coated.
• Put the asparagus on the grill at an angle so the stalks don't fall through the grates. Grill, flipping halfway through cooking, until the asparagus begin to char, the pointy ends start to crisp and the stalks are just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove to a platter and sprinkle with the feta and mint.

MOM'S GRILLED ASPARGUS

Steps:

• Cut half to one inch of the bottoms off the aspargus. Lay on cookie sheet or large baking dish. Generously pour olive oil on top then sprinkle with salt and pepper to your liking. Mix aspargus together with hands making sure you coat the entire bundle.
• Place on top rack of grill or over indirect heat and turn every couple minutes or so for about 5-10 minutes depending on grill. You want to make sure that it doesn't burn or over cook. You still want the aspargus to "snap" when you eat it.

HOW TO GRILL ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Heat the grill to medium high.
• Trim the asparagus (see Note). Toss the asparagus spears with the oil in a shallow platter of rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt.
• Grill the asparagus with the spears perpendicular to the grate, or in a grill basket, 4 to 8 minutes, depending on thickness, and how tender you like them to be (see additional tips above). Turn them every minute or two. Don't forget the will get a bit softer once they are removed from the heat, so take them off just before they are done to your liking. Keep checking, turning and moving them around as needed. Remove from the grill and serve warm or at room temperature.
