Rory’s Sugar Grilled Asparagus
Ok, as I’ve already stated this week, I love asparagus! And I have a number of different ways that I like to prepare it. But this one I was actually a little skeptical about. This recipe is from one of the finalists from “The Next Food Network Star” series. Rory that sweet gal from Texas came up with this recipe which calls for coating asparagus spears in sugar and then grilling them. I imagined an overpowering sweetness that would mask the asparagus’ taste. I was wrong! The fire from the grill caramalized the sugar to form a perfectly sweet coating on the asparagus. It was absolutely amazing! So I hope you will give it a try.
Ingredients:
1 bundle asparagus, about 20 spears
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 orange, zested
Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Cut the tough ends off asparagus, roll in oil and coat with sugar and salt. Place asparagus on the grill and cook for approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Turn asparagus to ensure even cooking. You know the asparagus are done when sugar is caramelized and asparagus are starting to look burnt. Sprinkle orange zest over asparagus before serving.
