I am going to add some olive oil to my aspargus with some salt and pepper. My question is how long do I put them on my BGE?

    I did it the other night and did about 5 min each side indirect. had a few that slipped over to the side and they got a little well done but were still yummy. Someone on here had posted using half honey and half olive oil and bast. that is how we will be cooking it from now on. We did not even bother with butter on it. it was like candy! Julie

    Don't forget to wrap a few in bacon!

    Everything's better with bacon!

    John,
    I just did these, and I don't even like asparagus. I wrapped them in ham and swiss with parm sprinkled in. I put them on for about 10 minutes, turning often, just until they turned a darker green with nice grill marks. They were awsome!

    another option to consider is pinning some together with toothpicks to make these "rafts" and they can either go on the grill directly or placed on top of your meat for a longer cook. Works for me!IMG_0277.jpg

    I always like adding some (okay ALOT) of fresh pressed garlic to the EVOO, Salt and Pepper - normally cook until they brown up a little and begin to go limp.

    YES! Mix 1 TBS olive oli and 1 TBS honey very well. 1 lb fat asparagus. Coat. Roast direct while basting until tender crisp.

    Best,

    I grilled asparagus once. soaked it in balsamic first, don't remember the exact recipe.
    It was FANTASTIC!

    Unfortunately the kids and wife weren't so excited about it so I haven't done it since.

    ...but I will do it again!

    I'm a big fan of EVOO salt & pepper, or substitute a little DP Shakin the Tree for the S&P. I roast them direct for a few minutes per side at about 400 F and drizzle them with Balsamic vinegar after they're cooked. The kids and wife love this preparation, and even the overdone (black) ones are tasty!
