Grilled Asparagus W Sriracha Toasted Pecan Vinaigrette Recipes

HOW TO GRILL ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Wash the asparagus and pat dry thoroughly. Using a sharp knife, cut about 1-inch from the base of the asparagus stalks and discard.
• Combine the trimmed asparagus, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl or on a rimmed sheet pan. Toss until the asparagus is well coated.
• Preheat the grill to medium high heat (400 to 450°). Add the asparagus to the grill, placing them crosswise on the grill grates so that they don't fall through. Grill, turning as needed, until grill marks form, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Transfer the asparagus to a serving platter; squeeze one lemon half over the asparagus. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and more salt and pepper, if you like.
