Why do I love them so much? Asparagus are so nutritious, both low in calories and sodium. Asparagus contains high levels of vitamin C, E & B6, calcium, magnesium, and zinc, and is a very good source of dietary fiber, protein, and beta-carotene.

Asparagus cook up quickly, especially when grilled. So, thick spears or thin spears? The thicker ones will take a little longer to cook. If you choose the very thin spears, make sure they are all uniform in size. They will grill very quickly and can often overcook.

Such a simple side dish but full of amazing flavors! Can't go wrong with fresh grilled asparagus! Even my husband likes asparagus now! This is the easiest Grilled Asparagus Spears recipe on the planet! Give it a try!
