I steamed asparagus for the first time on the grill the other day. It came out great! My only critique is that I would have cooked it longer. I made hamburgers and put the asparagus on about halfway through but I should have put it on the grill right when I started the burgers. Anyway, here’s what I did:

• Snap the ends off of about 15 spears of asparagus (you can also trim them with a knife).
• Cut a large piece of aluminum foil and place it shiny side up.
• Place the asparagus in the center of the tin foil. Sprinkle with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper (all to taste).
• Cover the asparagus with the tin foil (make sure all of the spears are covered).
• Place it on the grill away from the center of the direct heat.
• Timing varies. If you like your asparagus crispy, leave it on for 15 minutes. If you like it cooked all the way through, leave it on for about thirty minutes.
