Easy Grilled Asparagus

Ready for the easiest recipe ever?


A sweet tooth is not required for this treat. Nor is an oven. Just heat up the grill, grab an old pan, and you are already almost done with this simple yet delicious dish.

When you need to balance out your overconsumption of large quantities of cookies/cake/ice cream, it is time to make this healthy vegetable. It might just be as satisfying as any brownie.

Grilled Asparagus
Very short list of ingredients: 
Asparagus, washed and trimmed
olive oil
salt
pepper
seasoning salt
Goat cheese, if preferred




































Directions: Heat grill to medium high. Rinse and trim the ends of the asparagus. Pour some olive oil on a pan and arrange the asparagus on the pan. Sprinkle liberally with salt, pepper, and seasoning salt. Roll asparagus on pan to cover ever surface.
Place pan on grill and cook until the asparagus is done. It will be slightly crunchy and will have that delicious grill flavor on them. I can't give you a specific time limit or say when you'll know... I just periodically taste them to see when they are perfect. Don't overcook though... there are few things worse, or more sad, than mushy overcooked asparagus. What a shame.

For even better results, top with hunks of goat cheese right after you take these off the grill. The flavor is amazing.
