This Grilled Asparagus with Balsamic vinegar recipe is one we enjoy year-round, though, of course we eat a lot more of it in the spring when asparagus is in peak season.
Grilled Balsamic Asparagus: A Family Favorite
To say Grilled Asparagus is popular at my house, would be a gross understatement. I love the stuff. When my husband was with us, it was one of the few vegetables he was interested in eating (and even requested). My young daughter noshes down on grilled asparagus balsamic style like most kids eat candy. Maybe, the Balsamic
sweetens it up a little for her youthful taste buds.
Grilled Asparagus Balsamic Style... So Easy
This grilled asparagus with Balsamic marinade is incredibly easy. When it is too cold or rainy outside, It is readily adapted to the oven, as well. I can boast turning a few asparagus haters into lovers with this simple recipe. Rather than continuing to put your asparagus through the indignity of boiling, give grilling it a try. ⅔ of this particular batch of grilled asparagus, was devoured by my daughter, and she went looking for more... twice.
Weather not good for grilling? Make my Easy Baked Asparagus or sauteed asparagus with mushrooms.
