Grilled Asparagus

I know fall just started but I miss summer already. This tasty little treat is a quick summer favorite in our house. But if you can find good asparagus and a warm fall day fit for grilling you can keep the dream of summer alive! The most important part of this recipe is to blanch the asparagus before you try to grill it.
Ingredients:
• 12 to 14 ounces of asparagus (this was meant for two people as a main side, if you have others you can feed more people from it)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Set water to boil and prep and wash asparagus. I like to cut most stalks in half.

When water is boiling place asparagus in it for one minute only. We are not cooking it fully we are just blanching it, the grill will do most of the work!

Next lightly add the olive oil and grind some salt and pepper remember you can always add more later! Place on the grill.
grilling away!

It will take about 10 minutes to cook depending on your grill temperature. The best thing you can do is taste test!
Here it is with grilled corn and veggie ribs!
Yum and done!
