Espárragos al grill

Ingredientes

• 1 pound asparagus
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Preparación

1. 1

   Heat the Broiler – Set the oven rack to the upper position, about 6 inches away from the upper heating element. Set the oven to broil, use the high setting if that’s an option.

2. 2

   Prepare the Asparagus – Rinse the asparagus under cool water, then pat dry with a towel to remove excess moisture on the surface. Using a knife, trim off the tough, fibrous ends, about 1 to 2 inches from the bottom.

3. 3

   Season the Asparagus – Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Place the asparagus in the pan, drizzle with olive oil, and toss to coat evenly. Spread in a single layer, then season with salt and pepper.

4. 4

   Broil – Place the asparagus under the broiler and cook for 4 minutes, and then shake the pan a few times. Continue broiling for another 2 to 4 minutes, or until the asparagus is lightly browned on the edges and tender. Watch closely, as they can quickly go from lightly charred to overcooked.
