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 !!!

My boys love asparagus and call them "paint brushes"! We usually steam them. We also use them in a filling for savory crepes (cooked asparagus, shredded chicken, a light cream cheese, and pizza seasoning). We've never grilled them before, we'll have to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteI've never thought of asparagus in crepes. Do you reheat the crepe after putting in the filling, or do you heat up the ingredients before putting them in the crepe?
DeleteWe usually make the crepe and then while it's still in the pan put the filling in, fold the crepe around it and let it warm in the pan for a little bit.
Deletea friend of ours told us that he used to call asparagus "dragon tails" when he was a kid
