Tin Foil Asparagus
This Easy Tin Foil Asparagus is one of our favorite side dishes because it's simple, flavorful, and practically foolproof.
Ingredients
- 1 bunch asparagus
- Garlic salt, to taste
- Ground black pepper, to taste
- Onion powder, to taste
- Olive oil spray
- (Optional) juice from 1/2 a lemon and/or parmesan cheese
Equipment
- Charcoal grill like a Weber Jumbo Joe, Weber Go-Anywhere Grill, or Kamado-style grill
- Aluminum foil
Directions
-
Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F.
-
Snap or trim the woody ends off the asparagus and discard them.
-
Place the asparagus on a large sheet of aluminum foil and lightly spray with olive oil.
-
Season evenly with garlic salt, onion powder, and ground black pepper.
-
Fold the foil over the asparagus and seal the edges to create a packet.
-
Place the foil packet on the grill (or in the oven) and cook for approximately 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the asparagus. Thicker spears may need a few extra minutes.
-
Carefully open the foil packet, as steam will escape, and serve immediately.
Tips & Information
- Thin asparagus cooks quickly and may only need 10-12 minutes.
- For extra flavor, finish with a little grated Parmesan cheese or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
- Wrapping the asparagus in foil keeps it tender while preventing it from falling through the grill grates.
- This recipe can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated until you're ready to grill.
Serving Suggestions: This asparagus pairs perfectly with Grilled London Broil, Chimichurri, Easy Mashed Potatoes, grilled chicken, salmon, or steak dinners.
