Grilled Asparagus

Ingredients

• 1 bunch asparagus
• olive oil spray
• sea salt (to taste)

Directions

To Grill: Wash the asparagus and wipe off the excess moisture. Spray the spears with olive oil and sprinkle with the sea salt or regular salt if you don't have sea salt. Then grill them directly on the rack, on medium heat, turning once until all sides have nice stripes. Depending on your grill, this may only take a few minutes. The grilling makes the asparagus have a smoky flavor.

To Roast: Wash the asparagus and wipe off the excess moisture. Spray the spears with olive oil and place them in an ovenproof container. (The asparagus can be stacked up some.) Sprinkle with the sea salt or regular salt if you don't have sea salt. Roast at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes. Check for doneness. If they are stacked it may take longer to roast.
