Diener's Dinner Table

Grilled Asparagus

Ingredients:
1 lb. Fresh Asparagus (I like the really skinny asparagus)
½ TBSP. Olive Oil (or better yet, use a spray olive oil)
Salt & Pepper to taste
Garlic Powder to taste

Preparation:
Rinse asparagus. Cut or break off woody ends (the parts that are white, dense, “woody” in texture). Roll them around in the olive oil (I pour it on and use my hands to mix them around). Sprinkle w/ the salt, pepper, & garlic powder. Tell your griller dude or dudette that they’re ready- and onto the hot grill they go. When they get nice and brown & crispy looking- they’re done. Not many of ours make it all the way to the table, they get eaten en route. (Hence the lack of a full lb. in the photo).

Time from prep to done- it depends on how long everything else is cooking because these are done in minutes (maybe 10 max?).

Super yum, 5 stars by all family members.

Options—maybe some cayenne pepper, maybe some lemon juice, real garlic (minced or sliced) instead of the powder--- want to do an *asian* asparagus—use soy sauce, sesame seeds, & maybe some ginger.
