Spicy Grilled Asparagus
Servings: 1 each
Calories: 41kcal
Ingredients
- 6 ounces asparagus cleaned
- 1/8 tsp pepper freshly ground
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/8 tsp garlic powder
- 2 sprays cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat grill to 400°F.
- Clean asparagus and remove tough ends. The best way to do this is to take the top and bottom of the asparagus and gently bend until the asparagus breaks. Reserve the top portion of the asparagus and throw out bottom stem.
- Spray grilling pan with cooking spray. Make sure grilling pan is large enough to accommodate all the asparagus so that it is only 1-2 layers deep for even cooking.
- Add asparagus to grilling pan and lightly coat with cooking spray or olive oil. Add pepper, salt, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder and mix well.
- Grill for 12-15 minutes, until asparagus is tender. Cooking times may vary based on the thickness of your asparagus.
- Enjoy as is or garnish with a little grated Parmesan cheese (Parmesan is not included in nutritional information).

This recipe is based on one serving so please scale up as needed.
