Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus spears
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the asparagus spears with olive oil to coat evenly.
Sprinkle garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over the asparagus. Toss again to ensure even seasoning.
Place the asparagus spears directly on the grill grates perpendicular to the bars to prevent them from falling through.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the asparagus is tender and lightly charred.
Remove the asparagus from the grill and transfer to a serving plate.
Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
