Ingredients
- 1 lb asparagus
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ½ lemon juiced about 1 tbsp
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp agave or honey
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pre-heat the grill to high heat around 375-400 degrees.
- Wash asparagus, and remove the woody ends by snapping them off.
- In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, agave or honey, salt and pepper. Use a basting brush to brush the mixture evenly over the asparagus.
- Optional: Skewer the asparagus through the thick end. See image above. This will make flipping them easier and prevent them from falling through the grill grates.
- Place asparagus on the grill, and cook for 7-10 minutes, flipping halfway. Serve with an extra squeeze of lemon, and enjoy!
