Ingredients

To make this easy side dish, you'll need a bunch of asparagus, a half teaspoon of kosher salt, a quarter teaspoon of ground pepper, and a quarter teaspoon of sumac.

Instructions

This is a really simple recipe - it's ready in less than 15 minutes! Here's how to make it.

Prep the asparagus - rinse the asparagus and snap off the woody ends.

Season the asparagus - toss it with the olive oil. Then sprinkle it with salt, pepper, and sumac.

Grill it - Heat a grill to medium heat. Once hot, lay the asparagus flat across the grill and cook for 5 to 10 minutes until grill marks appear. Flip it once while cooking.

Finish it - give it a squeeze of lemon juice and serve immediately.

Tips for Making this Recipe

Preparation Tips - Remove the woody ends of your asparagus before cooking, by pressing along the bottom of the stalk. Allow the stalk to naturally snap where it wants to.

Specialty Ingredients - This recipe calls for sumac spice - you can omit it if you don't have it, but it adds a wonderful, zesty flavor!

Alternate Cooking Methods - If you don't want to cook this on a grill, you can do it on the stovetop in a grill pan.

Storage

While this dish is best served immediately, you can save leftover asparagus for up to 3 days in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
