How to Grill Asparagus on a George Foreman Grill

Asparagus is one of many vegetables that takes minutes to cook on a George Foreman grill.

George Foreman offers more than 40 types of grills, all of which have the ability for cooking vegetables. Asparagus is typically available for purchase throughout the year, but is harvested during the spring and early summer. Fresh asparagus is firm to the touch and can vary in size. Small and large asparagus, if fresh and tender, should have the same flavor. Use different coatings or marinades on the asparagus before grilling on the George Foreman grill to enhance the flavor.
