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