Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound asparagus
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 fresh lemon for garnish
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat (around 375-400°F). Place asparagus, olive oil, lemon juice, and kosher salt in a shallow dish.
  • Toss thoroughly to evenly coat the asparagus with the lemon mixture, ensuring all spears are well-covered.
  • Place asparagus on the preheated grill. Grill for 2 minutes on each side for thin asparagus, or 3 minutes on each side for thicker asparagus, until tender-crisp. Reserve any leftover lemon mixture.
  • Remove grilled asparagus from the grill and return it to the shallow dish. Toss with the reserved lemon mixture to coat once more for extra flavor. Garnish with a fresh lemon wedge and black pepper.
