What You'll Need
- 1 pound fresh asparagus
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
What to Do
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (350 degrees to 400 degrees). Snap off and discard tough ends of asparagus.
- Combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish or large resealable plastic bag; add asparagus, turning to coat.
- Remove asparagus from oil mixture. Grill asparagus, covered, 2 to 4 minutes or until tender, turning once. Remove asparagus, and sprinkle evenly with grated lemon rind; serve immediately.
Notes
The grilling time is for pencil-thin asparagus. For thicker asparagus, you'll need to increase the time.
You can also roast the asparagus in a 375 degree oven for 20-25 min or use a grill pan over a Medium-High flame and cook 3-5 min, or until tender.
