Asparagus is a great vegetable, despite its side effects. However, most people only steam or boil it. Sadly, during the summer, when asparargus abounds, no one wants to deal with heating the kitchen. Well, as the grill is already fired up, just toss on the asparagus. Just be careful that they don’t fall through the grates. While you tend to want thinner spears for steaming, when grilling use thicker ones if possible. If using thinner spears, you might want to use a grill basket. You can make the grilling easier by making asparagus rafts, see the directions below the recipe. If you have never had grilled asparagus, I urge you to try it now!
