Grilled esparragos Recipe Delicious
Description
esparragos
Deliciously simple, these grilled Esparragos Asados need just a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper, and a hint of lemon zest to bring out their natural flavors! The best part? You can grill them right alongside your main dish, and they cook up fast.
Asparagus, or esparragos as they're known in Spanish, transform into something extraordinary when kissed by the flames. The heat gives them a subtle smokiness and a charred essence that enhances their nutty flavor.
I prepare this versatile vegetable at least twice a month, as long as they're available at my local store. Depending on what else is on the menu, I’ll either grill, roast, or air fry them. If the oven's already in use, I roast them there. If I’m grilling, they go on the grill. They adapt perfectly to whatever cooking method I choose!
How to Pick Fresh Asparagus
When shopping, look for firm but tender stalks. Avoid wilted ones, as they won’t cook as well. The ends should be moist and plump. Stay away from asparagus with dry, cracked, or "woody" ends.
