Grilled Asparagus

Grilled Asparagus

EverydayCooked

Grilled asparagus is a preparation of asparagus spears cooked over direct heat, developing smoky char marks and a tender-crisp texture. This method caramelizes the vegetable’s natural sugars, enhancing its earthy flavor while preserving nutrients like fiber, folate, and vitamins A, C, and K. Typically seasoned with olive oil and salt before grilling, it serves as a low-calorie, antioxidant-rich side dish compatible with keto, paleo, and plant-based diets.
