Grilled asparagus spears are a simple yet flavorful dish featuring fresh asparagus seasoned lightly with olive oil, salt, and pepper before being cooked to perfection over an open flame or grill. This preparation, popular in Mediterranean cuisine, enhances the natural earthy and slightly sweet flavors of asparagus while adding a subtle smokiness. Rich in nutrients, asparagus is a powerful source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate and fiber. It’s renowned for its antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a heart-healthy choice. Grilling with olive oil adds healthy monounsaturated fats, although portion control is key to keep calories in balance. Low in carbs and naturally gluten-free, grilled asparagus spears fit well into many diets, including vegetarian, paleo, and keto. They are an excellent side dish or appetizer that complements main courses without compromising on nutrition.
