Guest guest Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 Maybe this'll give you an idea -this has already been posted and is in the archives. * Exported from MasterCook * Simply the Best Roasted Aspargus Recipe By :Andrea Chesman Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 pound asparagus -- (12 to 16 medium-thick spears), bottoms trimmed 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil Coarse sea salt or kosher salt Sometimes less is more, and that is definitely the case when cooking fresh, locally grown asparagus. it's all very well to have asparagus in the market year-round, but asparagus shipped from another corner of the globe is no better than strawberries shipped halfway around the world-pretty to look at but lacking in flavor. Save this simple, unadorned treatment for fresh, in-season asparagus that needs no flavor enhancements. This asparagus isn't that pretty to look at, but it is wonderful to eat. For roasting, choose medium-thick spears over pencil-thin ones. Preheat the oven to 450F. Lightly oil a large shallow roasting pan or half sheet pan. Arrange the asparagus in a single, uncrowded layer in the pan. Drizzle the oil over the asparagus and roll to coat evenly. Roast for about 15 minutes, until the asparagus is lightly browned, shaking the pan occasionally for even cooking. Transfer the asparagus to a serving platter and sprinkle with salt to taste. Serve immediately.

Patti Bess' Vegetarian BBQ is my other MAIN references on grilling veggies. note that the asparagus WILL brown (darken) . They roast in the grill. You could put them directly on the grill to get those marks but you would need a good turner for that (tong and spatula if you have it). so a basket is a good thing. BUT! I recommend precooking the asparagus -- about 3 minutes. Drain and dry, dress; grill for about 4 minutes! I get the flavor AND a green spear. here's patti's recipe. does he have gas or charcoal? * Exported from MasterCook * Roasted (Grilled) Asparagus Recipe By :Patti A. Bess 1998 Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Grilling Vegetables Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 pound asparagus spears 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar 2 teaspoons lemon juice salt and freshly ground black pepper 1. Preheat a gas grill to medium or use an existing charcoal fire that has burned down to a medium heat. A grill basket will keep the asparagus from falling through the grill. 2. Cut off tough ends of the asparagus and, if desired, peel the stalks. In a shallow roasting pan or medium sized cake pan, toss the asparagus with the oil, vinegar and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. 3. Spread out the asparagus evenly in a grilling basket. Close the lid of the grill and roast for 8 to 10 minutes, turning and rolling the spears every few minutes. Test for doneness by piercing with a fork. Sprinkle with additional balsamic vinegar if desired. VARIATION: *Orange instead of lemon juice. *Do not peel; cook about seven minutes on a two sided preheated indoor grill. *Roast in oven 450F for 12 to 15 minutes.
