Grilled Asparagus

Description

Grilling vegetables along with the entrée saves time and reduces kitchen mess. I like to cook asparagus spears directly on the grill or on a cedar plank – as shown in the photo above and our recipe for Cedar Planked Maple Salmon. If you’re doing small pieces a wok, barbecue tray – and even the cedar plank – will prevent pieces from falling through the grill.

Serves 4. Preparation time: 10 minutes
