Succulent Spears (AKA... Asparagus)

So it's been awhile since my last post, but have no fear, I've still been cooking up a storm of vegetables. Even better news... It's spring time which means its time to pull out the BBQ and FIRE IT UP!!!

Grilled Asparagus

Wash
Snap off with your hands the dried out ends (not the spear end)
Toss with a little olive oil, salt and pepper then throw it on the grill. (Or add your favorite seasonings)
Lay them crossways on the grill and then Grill on medium to high for about 10 -15 minutes depending on if you want them crispy or just cooked. If the spears are really skinny you might want to put foil on the grill so the spears don't fall through.

I've cooked asparagus on the grill about 5 times this season and my favorite turn out was when I accidentally overlooked them and they were crispy like a chip at one end with a yummy smokey flavor (not burned).

HAPPY GRILLING !!!
