Ingredients

1 bundle asparagus, about 20 spears
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoons kosher salt
Zest of 1/2 orange

Yields: 3 servings

Preparation

Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

Cut the tough ends off asparagus, roll in oil and coat with sugar and salt. Place asparagus on the grill and cook for approximately 10-15 minutes. Turn asparagus to ensure even cooking.
