| Yield: | 4 servings |
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 3 medium shallots, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
- 2 cloves garlic, lightly smashed
- 2 sprigs fresh oregano
- 2 bunches medium asparagus (about 2 pounds), woody ends trimmed and discarded
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Stir together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, shallots, garlic and oregano in a medium bowl. Pour the marinade into a 1-gallon resealable plastic storage bag, add the asparagus and seal the bag closed. Place the bag in a bowl or on a plate (just in case it leaks) and marinate in the refrigerator for 8 to 24 hours, flipping a couple of times.
- Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat. While the grill heats up, remove the asparagus from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Season liberally on all sides with salt and pepper.
- Place the asparagus on the hot grill and cook, flipping as needed, until crisp-tender and charred in spots, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a platter, garnish with the chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Simple, flavorful, and you can flavors to it easily. Highly recommend!
Really easy and good, I really love grilled asparagus
Easy to make and tastes great!
This was really easy and good. My family liked it. Now on to mint pasta pesto (I am going to grow my own mint), and then the chicken!
This is actually the first time I’ve ever liked asparagus! Just make sure the herbs are still on the asparagus when you’re grilling them so the flavour pops out!
This was amazing! It was so easy and my family loved it.
will have with the chicken, thanks for having a new cooking show. Like to see new shows instead of reruns of old ones.
I LOVE asparagus made this way! David’s suggestion was an amazing new twist on the way I’ve been making it! Loved it!
