Best Grilled Asparagus And Sweet Potato Miso Soup Recipes

MY FAVORITE ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Set up a grill for even medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, build coals evenly along the bottom.
• Whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, mustard, horseradish, lemon juice and zest in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside. Place the asparagus, endive and onions on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Place on the grill and cook, turning once, until tender-crisp and lightly charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Serve drizzled with the dressing and topped with the tarragon leaves, if using.

THE BEST GRILLED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium heat. Chop the tough, woody ends off the asparagus (about 1 inch) and peel another inch of the stalks.
• Whisk the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together in a large bowl. Add the asparagus and toss until well coated.
• Put the asparagus on the grill at an angle so the stalks don't fall through the grates. Grill, flipping halfway through cooking, until the asparagus begin to char, the pointy ends start to crisp and the stalks are just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove to a platter and sprinkle with the feta and mint.
