Grilled Asparagus



An easy recipe for grilled asparagus from my new cookbook, The Real Family Camping Cookbook. Enjoy!

Grilled Asparagus

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 10 minutes

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients:
1.5 lbs. of asparagus with the bottoms snapped off
olive oil
salt & pepper
skewers

Instructions:
1.  If you use wooden skewers, soak them in water first so they don’t burn up on the grill.

2.  Lay 4 or 5 asparagus spears down next to each other and skewer through all of them with 2 skewers.

3.  Repeat with all of the asparagus.

4.  Brush the asparagus skewers with olive oil and lay them on the grill.

5.  Sprinkle them with salt and pepper.
6.  Grill until the asparagus is tender, 5-10 minutes, turning often.
7.  Serve with salt & pepper.

    Thanks, Joshua! I like the wooden skewers better because then I don't burn my fingers, but they do tend to burst into flames if you don't soak them first.
