Savor the smoky flavor and delightfully crisp edges of perfectly grilled asparagus, seasoned with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Enjoy this BBQ favorite with a squeeze of charred lemon for a tantalizing tang.
Trim off the tough ends of the asparagus spears, which are usually about 1 to 2 inches.
2
Place asparagus on a sheet tray, drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, and season with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
3
Gently mix the asparagus with your hands to evenly distribute the seasonings.

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (350 to 400ºF/177 to 204ºC) for 10 minutes with the lid closed.
5
Carefully grease the cooking grates using a paper towel dipped in oil and tongs.
6
Add the asparagus and lemon halves to the grill, cover, and cook until light char marks appear, about 3 to 4 minutes for thin asparagus or 5 to 6 minutes for thicker spears.
7
Turn over the asparagus and cook uncovered until tender, about 2 to 4 minutes depending on the thickness of the vegetable.
8
Transfer grilled asparagus and lemon to a serving plate, squeeze the charred lemon over the asparagus, and serve immediately.
