Grilled asparagus has been a regular in my kitchen. Not only is it quick to make, but the flavor is out of this world. It goes well with pork tenderloin, and a hearty farro-based salad. I don't have the time or the desire to cook the main dish, so I grill it with the side. It's a great side-dish and I serve it at least twice a week. It's great for hot weather.
If you'd rather not use a grill, you can use a stovetop grill pan to grill the asparagus. Place the asparagus in small batches on the stovetop to cook. Heat it to high but reduce the heat if necessary. You may need to cook your asparagus for between five and six minutes, depending on how hot the indoor stovetop grill pans get. Although the asparagus won't get as crispy as a grill grill, it will be crispier and tenderer than if it is grilled on an outside grill.

Lemon juice or other seasonings can be added if desired. Foil can be substituted for a grill grid if you don’t own one.

The asparagus' appearance will be enhanced and their flavor will also be enhanced. Grilling asparagus over a hot grill will bring out the best flavor and aroma.
Once you've grilled the asparagus, you can serve it with more salt, lemon juice, or balsamic vinegar. You can either serve the asparagus immediately or you could save any leftovers and store them in the fridge for up four days. It can be grilled in an oven or roasted in the oven. Two skewers can be used to grill asparagus. Two skewers make it easy to turn the asparagus and keep the stalks in place.
To grill asparagus you will need to trim the bottom. You can then rub the asparagus with extra virgin Olive Oil and salt. To cook asparagus, place it on a grill to allow it to become fork-tender and slightly charred. For a more flavorful version, add a pinch of lemon zest.

Then, grill the spears on high heat until tender.
