Calories: 67kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pounds Asparagus - fresh, thick spears
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon course kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, fresh ground
- 2 lemons, cut in half
Instructions
- Wash asparagus and trim away bottom woody ends.
- Toss asparagus with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Grill on indirect heat of a medium-high grill for 8-10 minutes with the lid closed until the asparagus is tender-crisp.
- Rotate spears directly over the heat for the last minute to create charred edges.
- Place the lemons halves, cut side down directly over the flame and cook for 2-4 minutes until the cut edges caramelize and turn dark brown.
- To serve, squeeze the amount of juice desired from grilled lemons onto the asparagus.
Notes
Thin stemmed asparagus will work equally well as thicker stalks, but may require less cook time for a tender-crisp result.
