18 minutes, plus optional marinating time

Ingredients

  • 1 pound asparagus spears, about 32 thin spears
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for finishing
  • Black pepper, to taste

Method

  1. Rinse the asparagus and snap or trim off the woody ends.
  2. Place the asparagus in a large dish. Add the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper, then toss until evenly coated.
  3. If time allows, marinate for at least 1 hour; otherwise, proceed directly to grilling.
  4. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
  5. Arrange the spears across the grates so they cannot fall through, or place them in a grill basket.
  6. Grill for 3 to 8 minutes depending on thickness, turning occasionally, until fork-tender and lightly charred.
  7. Return the asparagus to the marinade dish, toss once more, and transfer to a serving platter.
