Smoky Glazed Asparagus

- 0 / 5

Smoky Glazed Asparagus is a wonderful addition to any spring-time meal. The smoky flavor is due to the grill but the mayonnaise-based glaze gives the asparagus a lovely blistered crust when it’s grilled. This marinade is also wonderful on broccoli or endive.

Simply whisk the marinade ingredients together and toss with the asparagus. Easy Peasy!

Let it stand for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the grill to a high heat.

Grill the asparagus until it’s lightly charred and blistered in spots. Depending on the thickness of the asparagus, this could take 3 minutes or 5-6 minutes. Be sure to turn the asparagus often so it doesn’t burn.

Remove from the grill and serve with extra lemon on the side.
