Grilled Asparagus

High in vitamins B6 and C, plus fiber, folate and glutathione, an anti-carcinogen and antioxidant, asparagus is an excellent nutritional choice. It comes in three colors: white, green or purple, although the green variety is the most common. 

This is a quick and simple dish to accompany any meal. 

1 lb fresh asparagus
2 - 3 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

To prepare asparagus, you will need to rinse the spears and break off the tough ends. Next you will need to heat your BBQ to medium heat and coat with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and rill for 5 - 7 minutes or until tender. Enjoy with your choice of protein.
