Grilled Asparagus with Lemon and Garlic

It's a perfect light dish for a beautiful warm summer day.

Serves: 4
Cook Time: 15 Minutes

Ingredients

• 1 pound asparagus
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps

Trim asparagus. In a small bowl, combine oil, paprika, garlic, and lemon zest and stir with a fork. Place asparagus in a casserole dish and pour mixture over asparagus. Toss until evenly covered. Place in grilling basket. Cook to desired tenderness and season with salt and pepper.

Alternate method if you do not have a grilling basket: Lay asparagus side by side and pierce on 2 wooden skewers to form a raft. Place rafts on the grill and brush with oil mixture.
