Sabrina’s Grilled Asparagus Recipe

Asparagus is often thought of as having a bitter or unpleasant flavor, but that is not the case at all with my easy recipe. Even picky eaters will be impressed by how crispy and slightly sweet the veggies turn out. The natural earthy, fresh flavor of asparagus tastes especially delicious with the char from the grill. Plus it’s a side that will elevate your favorite grilled mains like chicken, steak and shrimp. Regardless of what dish you serve this veggie with, it makes a flavorful, simple, and nutritious addition to your meal.
