A quick easy way to grill asparagus.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Fire up your BBQ grill to make sure it is good and hot (either gas or charcoal, depends on your tastes - I use gas just for the convienence).
Step 2

Trim off the bottom ends of the stalks to the area where the green color fades. Do not remove the spears. An alternative method is to snap off the asparagus ends. Hold an asparagus spear firmly and bend it until it breaks naturally.
Step 3

Rub Asparagus with Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Step 4

Sprinkle your choice of seasonings, I like to use either Tony Chachere`s Creole seasoning or just sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper.
Step 5

Place the Asparagus on the grill and cook until the are just starting to get soft.
Step 6

Remove from grill and serve hot.

Tips & Warnings

Fresh asparagus will last about 3 to 4 days.
When selecting asparagus, choose stalks that are firm and crisp with heads that are full and not discolored.
Do not wash asparagus before storing. Wash it just before using it.
