This recipe is easy and tasty! Plus the asparagus is full of vitamins too!
List of main ingredients:
Asparagus – You want fresh asparagus for this recipe. Look for stalks with firm ends that are not dark green or black.
Lemon – A slice of lemon adds a little bit of tanginess and zest to asparagus.
Salt - I prefer Kosher salt, but regular table salt works just fine.
You can make these on the grill or use a grill mat.

Trim the asparagus earlier in the day so it is ready to be grilled when you are. Place the asparagus cut side down in a mason jar with water and store in the refrigerator.

Cassidy loves to grill asparagus! This looks so fresh. Sometimes he will put some sort of cheese on it, and once even made bacon wrapped asparagus.
