How to BBQ Asparagus
1
Snap off the woody ends (they break naturally at the right point).
2
Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
3
Preheat BBQ to high, 220°C (430°F).
4
Place perpendicular to grill grates (or use a grill basket).
5
Grill 2–3 minutes per side until crisp-tender with char marks.
6
Finish with lemon juice and optionally shaved parmesan.
Pro Tips
- Place perpendicular to the grill grates so they don't fall through.
- Thick spears work much better on the BBQ than thin ones.
- Don't overcook — they should still have a snap when you bite.
- A grill basket makes these much easier to manage.
Resting Time
Rest for 1 minute after removing from the BBQ. This allows juices to redistribute for a juicier result.
