Grilled Asparagus
Grilled Asparagus is American home cooking, eaten at lunch and dinner. On the plate it is the cooked vegetable. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb asparagus
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 lemon
How to cook it
- Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high and trim the woody ends from the asparagus.
- Toss the asparagus with the olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Grill, turning occasionally, until tender-crisp and lightly charred, about 6 minutes.
- Squeeze the lemon over the top and serve hot.

Safe at your table
Dinejot tracks ten allergens and tags every one of them by hand. Grilled Asparagus carries none of them. That is a checked answer rather than an ingredient list nobody read.
| Allergen | In this dish | Cook this instead |
|---|---|---|
| Peanuts | No | |
| Tree nuts | No | |
| Dairy | No | |
| Gluten | No | |
| Shellfish | No | |
| Eggs | No | |
| Soy | No | |
| Fish | No | |
| Sesame | No | |
| Coconut | No |
These tags are set by a person rather than inferred from an ingredient list, and they describe the recipe as written here. Read the labels on whatever you actually buy.
