Grilled asparagus is one of the most delicious and nutritious vegetables. It has a unique flavor that is savory and slightly sweet, with a tender texture that is both crunchy and creamy. The marinated spears are cooked over an open flame, and their tips become lightly charred for an added hint of smokiness. Additionally, the asparagus is often seasoned with salt and pepper, though you can also add herbs, garlic, or other spices for a more flavorful experience. Grilled asparagus is a great addition to any meal, whether served as a side dish or an entrée. It’s also a healthy source of vitamins and minerals, and it’s low in calories and fat, making it the ideal vegetable for a healthy and delicious meal.
Ingredients

Method
In a small bowl combine the garlic and olive oil.
In another bowl combine the asparagus with 2 tbsp of the garlic oil and salt and pepper to taste.
Grill asparagus on a grill over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. I use either a metal grill sheet with holes in it or a vegetable bowl of the same style.
Transfer asparagus to a platter and top with remaining garlic oil and almonds.
