    Ingredients

    • 1-2 bunches Idaho asparagus
    • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced (Available during the Idaho Farmers Market season at your local market)
    • 1/4 cup avocado oil (can withstand higher temperatures, but olive oil, coconut oil, etc. will also work)
    • freshly ground salt & pepper
    Notes

    Steps

    • Pre-heat grill to medium-high heat.

    • Add avocado oil and minced garlic to a small dish or cup.

    • Align fresh asparagus on a pan.

    • With a kitchen brush, lightly coat asparagus with garlic oil mixture. Brush oil on each side so each spear is coated evenly.

    • Sprinkle with fresh ground pepper and salt to liking.

    • With tongs, place asparagus on grill in the opposite direction of the grates.

    • Cook for approx 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally.

    • When desired texture is reached, remove from grill and serve. Serve with additional salt & pepper to taste.
