Pinning asparagus spears together with skewers makes it easier to flip them and grill evenly on both sides. Make sure to remove skewers before serving to younger children. Ingredients:
16 thick asparagus spears (about 1 pound) |
1 tablespoon lower-sodium soy sauce |
1 teaspoon dark sesame oil |
1 garlic clove, minced |
cooking spray |
2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted |
1/8 teaspoon black pepper |
dash of salt |
Directions:
1. Preheat grill to high heat.
2. Snap off tough ends of asparagus. Line up 4 asparagus spears, touching each other, on a flat surface. Thread 2 (3-inch) skewers or wooden picks horizontally through spears 1 to 1 1/2 inches from each end to form a raft. Repeat procedure with remaining asparagus spears.
3. Combine soy sauce, oil, and garlic, stirring with a whisk; brush evenly over rafts. Place rafts on grill rack coated with cooking spray. Grill 3 minutes on each side or until crisp-tender. Sprinkle evenly with sesame seeds, pepper, and salt.
