How long do you cook asparagus on grill?
The grilling time for asparagus depends on its thickness and desired doneness. Here's a general guide:
Thin asparagus (about 1/4 inch thick):
* Direct high heat: 5-7 minutes, turning halfway through.
* Indirect medium heat: 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through.
Thick asparagus (about 1/2 inch thick):
* Direct high heat: 8-10 minutes, turning halfway through.
* Indirect medium heat: 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through.
Signs of doneness:
* Tender-crisp: Asparagus should be tender but still have a slight snap.
* Charred tips: The tips will brown and caramelize, adding a delicious smoky flavor.
Tips for grilling asparagus:
* Trim the bottom ends: Remove any tough, woody parts.
* Drizzle with olive oil and season: Salt, pepper, and other herbs or spices are delicious.
* Grill in bundles: Wrap the asparagus in foil for easier handling.
* Use a grill basket: This prevents the asparagus from falling through the grates.
* Don't overcrowd the grill: Give the asparagus space to cook evenly.
Enjoy your grilled asparagus!
