Grilled Asparagus
Ingredients
- 2-3 bunches asparagus washed and trimmed
- 1 bottle Italian dressing use whatever is your favorite
Instructions
- Place asparagus in a large ziplock bag or 13x9 glass pan and cover generously with Italian dressing. You may not use the whole bottle, just enough to coat them nicely.
- Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or overnight. When ready to grill remove from dressing and place on a preheated grill (we like to grill these on grill mats to make it easier). Grill until they reach your desired level of doneness. We like them with a little bit of crispy black spots, but you can grill them more or less depending on your preference.
- When finished place them on a platter. If desired you can toss in remaining dressing from the marinade or just serve as is without extra dressing. We have done both depending on our mood, but most often serve it without additional dressing.
Notes
Make Ahead Options: I love that this can be prepped ahead of time for a barbecue. I usually do this the night before so that it's ready to go when people are over and I can just pull it out of the fridge.
Helping Hands: This is a great one for kids to help with. They can snap the ends off the asparagus and can also pour on the dressing. It's not complicated but it might make them more inclined to try asparagus. My kids love it!
