Here's my favorite way to cook asparagus. Wash it and cut about an inch off of the ends. Put it in aluminum foil and brush it with a ligh amount of olive oil (just a little oil can easily coat all the spears). Sprinkle with coarse sea salt to taste. Then fully enclose the asparagus in aluminum. When ready to cook place on a pre-heat grill (350 degrees plus) and cook for about 5 or 6 minutes per side.
Asparagus is one of nature's most perfect foods. A member of the lily family, it's a nutrient-dense food high in folic acid - and a good source of potassium, fiber, vitamin B6, vitamins A and C, and thiamin. It also has no fat, no cholesterol and is low in sodium. Under ideal conditions, an asparagus spear can grow 10 inches in a 24-hour period.
