Summer means barbecue season is upon us! Asparagus is one of my favorite ingredients to grill. Not that pan-frying or baking is boring, but the fire from the barbecue brings out asparagus’ flavor and texture in a whole new way. Plus, with a squeeze of lemon, this asparagus recipe just screams summer.

Cook Time: 7-10 minutes
Serves: 2 servings

Ingredients:

• 1 bunch of asparagus
• 1 tsp. olive oil
• Pinch of salt (adjust to taste)
• Pinch of pepper (adjust to taste)
• 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice (adjust to taste)
• Trader Joe’s “Everything but the Bagel Seasoning” (optional)

Recipe:

1. Fire up grill to a low heat.
2. Toss asparagus in olive oil.
3. Using tongs, carefully place asparagus horizontally across the grill ridges to avoid the asparagus falling through the cracks.
4. Cover the grill and let cook for 7-10 minutes or until lightly charred.
5. Remove asparagus from the heat and toss in salt and pepper. Add a squeeze of lemon and dash of “Everything but the Bagel Seasoning” over top. Enjoy!
