Ingredients
– 1 bunch asparagus with woody ends trimmed
– Extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling
– Sea salt for seasoning
– Freshly ground black pepper for seasoning
– Lemon wedges for squeezing
Instructions
1-First, rinse the asparagus thoroughly under cold water and trim the tough woody ends to ensure tenderness.
2-Pat the spears dry with a clean towel to promote even grilling and prevent steaming.
3-Toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any extras like lemon zest for added flavor and to avoid sticking.
4-Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F, for the best results.
5-Arrange the asparagus on the grill grates, turning occasionally for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp and lightly charred.
6-For the final touch, remove from the heat, squeeze on fresh lemon juice, and let it rest briefly before serving.
