Grilled Sesame Asparagus

SESAME ASPARAGUS

May 20, 2015

Did you know asparagus is actually a weed? If you let it go too long, you’ll have little asparagus trees.I like using asparagus to replace french fries with meals like hamburgers or barbecue chicken. If you have a grill, then it is especially good. If you have a charcoal grill, then it’s even better!

Sesame Asparagus

Asparagus
Sesame Oil
Sesame Seeds
Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper

Prepare:

Wash asparagus and snap the ends off. You can cut the ends off, but I prefer finding the point where the asparagus naturally breaks. If you’ve just picked asparagus then you can skip this step.

If sauteing on the stove:

In a large saute pan, big enough so the asparagus isn’t too crowded, drizzle about a tablespoon of sesame oil over the asparagus. Then sprinkle with garlic powder, sesame seeds, salt, and pepper. Using tongs, turn the asparagus until covered. Saute on medium high heat until the asparagus is tender but still snaps when you bite it.

If grilling:

Combine asparagus, sesame oil, garlic powder, sesame seeds, salt, and pepper in a zip lock bag. Squish it around until the asparagus is covered then transfer to a grill. Grill until asparagus is tender but still snaps when you bite it.
