Grilled Asparagus Recipe

Asparagus is a versatile veggie that is so quick and easy to prepare. I've got the tips you need to store, cook, and freeze it.

Ingredients:

• asparagus
• olive oil
• garlic salt
• black pepper

Expert Tips/FAQs

Should I cut the ends off of the asparagus before cooking?

Yes. Trim up the very bottom of the stems, about the length of a thumbnail. The bottom is a bit woody and it does not taste great. Trim the ends.  Add the ends to your discarded veggie stock to make homemade veggie stock or add to your compost heap.

Do I peel the asparagus before cooking?

When making this grilled asparagus recipe, if the asparagus is thin, they will be tender. Very thick asparagus can be trimmed to give a more tender flavor to the asparagus. Discard the trimmings, add to the compost heap, or add to your veggie trimmings to make homemade veggie stock.

What other seasonings can be added to the grilled asparagus?

My method of cooking is clear. I prefer for you to use your favorite ingredients. This is my easiest seasoning for asparagus! You can add any spices to these! Important to always season your food to add flavor! The olive oil will also prevent the asparagus from sticking to the grill.  Add fresh Parmesan Cheese to finished asparagus for added flavor!

How do I store fresh asparagus if I am not making it right away?

Place the fresh asparagus upright in a container with fresh water at the bottom of the container. Keep them in the fridge until ready to grill.

Can make this grilled asparagus recipe ahead of time and reheat?

If grilling asparagus ahead of time, wrap the grilled asparagus in foil and reheat for a few minutes to warm up. We also love to munch on room temperature asparagus!

Equipment Needed:

Ingredients

• 1 pound asparagus, ends trimmed or snapped off Note 1
• 1-2 Tablespoons olive oil
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon garlic salt
• ¼ teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese, shredded optional Note 3

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

• Preheat the grill to 450 degrees. 
• Season asparagus with olive oil, black pepper, garlic salt, and onion powder. 
• Reduce heat on the grill to about 375 degrees. Lay your asparagus diagonally on the grill. (Asparagus will not fall through the grates). You can also use a vegetable grill pan.
• Close the lid on grill for about 1-2 minutes. Open the lid, move around the asparagus to let the stalks finish cooking to your desired tenderness. Feel free to sprinkle fresh Parmesan cheese on the asparagus after they are removed from the grill! 

Notes

Note 1: As for peeling asparagus, if the stalks are very thick, I peel the stalks to help the asparagus be more tender. If the asparagus is thin, I do not peel them. 

Note 2: Save your ends and store them in a veggie scraps bag in the freezer. Use your veggie scraps to make Homemade Vegetable Stock.

Note 3: If you are not Vegan and love cheese, feel free to sprinkle some fresh Parmesan cheese on top of the asparagus after they are grilled. Yummy!
