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.
