Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Prepare the asparagus. Preheat a grill to 400-425°F (205-220°C). Use a sharp knife to cut off 1½-2-inches from the bottom of each asparagus stalk. These are woody, hard, and tough to chew. Discard.

  2. Season the asparagus. Place trimmed asparagus on a large piece of aluminum foil. You might have to do this in two batches depending on the size of the asparagus bundle. Try not to have more than two asparagus stacked on top of each other or it won't cook evenly. Drizzle the asparagus with 2 Tbsp olive oil, ½ tsp Kosher salt, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper.

Chef's Notes


Thin asparagus cooks faster—about 4 minutes per side.
Choose firm stalks with tight, fresh-looking tips; avoid any that feel soft or mushy.
Trim off the woody ends (about 1½–2-inches) before cooking.
