📖 Step-by-step instructions
Prepare the asparagus
First, rinse the asparagus under cold water by allowing water to flow through the tips. Pat dry in a clean kitchen towel. Then, bend the asparagus towards the woody part or slice them off with a knife.
Season the asparagus / make foil packets
Preheat your grill to 400F. Place a sheet of aluminum foil on the table. Place the asparagus in the foil, evenly spaced as one neat layer. Drizzle with avocado oil, then sprinkle salt and black pepper. Use your hands to coat them fully. Then, place another piece of foil on top and crimp each of the edges to form a foil packet. This will go on your grill!
Grill the asparagus and finish with lemon!
Place this foil packet directly on the grill and let it cook for 20 minutes. Squeeze some fresh lemon juice and zest some lemon and enjoy! Perfect, grilled asparagus is ready for all your summer BBQ needs!

You can store this in the fridge for a day or two and then reheat on the stove. However, I prefer making it fresh whenever possible since it just takes 25 minutes!
