Ingredients
- 1 lb Asparagus
- 1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pinch Kosher salt
- Fresh ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by trimming the woody ends off of the asparagus spears and toss them in a bit of olive oil.
- Preheat your grill pan over medium-high heat until it's hot, but not smoking.
- Place the asparagus on the grill pan in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. If you are grilling a large amount of asparagus, do it in batches and keep the first batches in a warm oven until all are done.
- Grill the asparagus for about 4 minutes on one side, then flip them over with tongs and grill for an additional 3 minutes.
- At this point, evaluate the asparagus and toss them gently as needed to ensure an even cook. Keep in mind that the surface of a grill pan may not have an even temperature, so it may be necessary to move the asparagus around to ensure an even char.
- In general, you can expect to grill asparagus for a total of about 8 to 12 minutes, depending on their thickness, freshness, and your personal taste. The outside should be charred but the inside should still have a slight bite when they are done.
- Remove the asparagus from the grill pan and season with a pinch of sea salt and fresh ground pepper. You can add a squeeze of lemon juice, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
These are also delicious served cold with a dressing of your choice.
