Grilled asparagus is one of those dishes that proves timing matters more than technique. A few minutes over heat is all it takes to turn crisp stalks into something tender, smoky, and bright. The grill doesn’t hide the vegetable it highlights it.
Asparagus has always signaled a shift in seasons. It shows up when the weather warms, cooks quickly, and doesn’t ask for much. Olive oil, salt, and heat are enough to bring out its natural sweetness and gentle bite. Served hot off the grill, it feels celebratory without effort.
In the Let’s Veg lifestyle, grilled asparagus represents simplicity and confidence. Eating more vegetables doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes it’s just choosing a vegetable at its best and letting it be exactly what it is.
