I love almost any vegetable cooked on the grill, and if we are grilling meat or seafood I usually try and grill my vegetable sides as well. Asparagus is one vegetable that is delicious grilled lightly brown and just tender to the bite. Choose medium sized spears as they grill the best. Grilling asparagus adds a smoky flavor to this veggie side, and caramelizes its natural sugars. This is a very easy recipe that can be put together and cooked in mere minutes once your grill is already hot.

Buon Appetito!
