Grilled Asparagus

Crisp-tender grilled asparagus spears seasoned with garlic, soy sauce and pepper
Yield: 

4 servings
Ingredients: 

1 pound fresh asparagus spears
2 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce*
1 teaspoon garlic salt
8-10 cranks of black pepper
Instructions: 

1.
In clean water, soak 4 long bamboo skewers for at least 20-30 minutes.
If using shorter skewers, use 8 — or however many it takes. Even sturdy
toothpicks will work, thought not ideal.

2. Wash asparagus and trim the hard bottoms, leaving only the tender spears.

3. Whisk oil and soy sauce together. Put oil mixture into a ziplock
bag with the asparagus spears and shake to coat. Or, if you have a small
cookie sheet or tray of some sort, whisk the marinade in that and then
roll the spears in the oil mixture to coat.

4. Put skewers through asparagus spears as pictured, making long flat “rafts” so the asparagus is easy to evenly turn and grill.

5. Pre-heat grill to medium. Sprinkle both sides of the asparagus flats with garlic salt and black pepper.

6. Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side. Grill temperatures and
grilling times will vary, so just keep an eye on it and be sure to not
over-cook! Asparagus should still be crisp-tender. Remove from skewers
and enjoy! 🙂

Additional Notes: 

*I’ve also substituted Bragg’s Liquid Aminos and thought it was just as delicious. 🙂
