Method

For Grilled Asparagus

Light your barbecue and set it to medium heat.

Trim about 20 percent off the base of the asparagus. In a medium bowl, add the asparagus and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper.

Using tongs, place asparagus side-by-side on the grill and cook until the tips start to char. Remove from the grill and place on a parchment-lined baking tray.
