Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds asparagus
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Wash the asparagus and snap off the woody ends. This is essential to ensure you're left with the tender part of the vegetable.
  • Preheat your Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Grill to high. Getting the grill to the right temperature is key for that perfect cook.
  • Toss the asparagus with the olive oil, minced garlic, and season with salt and pepper to taste. This will ensure every inch of your asparagus is packed with flavor.
  • When the grill is ready, add the asparagus in a single layer. This will provide even heat distribution for cooking.
  • Cook on high heat for 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the asparagus is tender-crisp.
  • Serve and savor every bite!

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

    • Don't overcook the asparagus! Not only will the garlic likely burn, but mushy asparagus is not nearly as good as tender-crisp asparagus.
    • Control the heat - if your asparagus spears are really thick, turn the heat to medium to cook them a bit longer.
    • Fresh garlic really makes this dish sing!
    • Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or lemon zest before serving for a little bit of extra flair.
