Easy and flavorful! The easiest way to grill asparagus is to thread several asparagus spears on to two parallel soaked wooden skewers and repeat, if necessary, until all are skewered before coating with the oil mixture.

Ingredients:

1 lb. fresh asparagus spears, trimmed
1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp. red wine vinegar
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Preheat grill for high heat.

Whisk together oil, vinegar, salt and pepper in a small bowl.

Coat the asparagus spears with oil mixture and grill for 2 to 3 minutes, or until desired tenderness.

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.
