I am sharing with you an easy and very tasty way to enjoy asparagus in the summer time.
Grilled Asparagus Ingredients
Asparagus
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper
Wash the asparagus and break the ends. Place in a large plastic container and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste and mix well.
Place the asparagus on a preheated grill at medium heat. Grill until cooked turning often. You want the asparagus to still be a bit crunchy. The best way to know if the're ready is to taste one!
Hope you enjoy.
A great way to enjoy asparagus! Do you grow those in your Wonder Garden as well, or just get them from the market?
ReplyDeleteI get them from my parents garden. I'm lucky they have a huge garden and are only 2 so lots of free fresh veggies for me!!! I wanted to try growing my own vegetables this year just for fun. I now know what I'm good at growing and will only grow those next year :)
