Instructions
Preheat the grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (204°C).
Pro tip: Ensure the grill grates are clean to prevent sticking.
Prepare the asparagus
Rinse the asparagus spears and pat them dry. Trim off the woody ends of the asparagus.
Pro tip: Bend the asparagus until it snaps to find the natural breaking point.
Season the asparagus
In a large bowl, toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Pro tip: Use your hands to ensure the seasoning is well distributed.
Grill the asparagus
Place the asparagus directly on the grill grates. Cook for about 4 minutes, then turn and grill for an additional 4 minutes. The asparagus should be tender and have grill marks.
Pro tip: Use tongs to turn the asparagus for even cooking.
Finish with lemon juice
Remove the asparagus from the grill and drizzle with freshly squeezed lemon juice before serving.
Pro tip: Lemon juice adds a bright, fresh flavour.
