Notes
- You can use a 1/2 -1 tablespoon of your favorite BBQ rub or whatever spices and seasoning you wish.
- You can add other vegetables to the foil packet along with the asparagus. Potatoes will not work because they have a longer cook time.
- You can take a peek in on the veggies to gauge doneness. Keep in mind, each time you open the grill, it will lose some of its heat and temperature. This could add a little to the cook time.
- If your asparagus is stringy and mushy, you cooked it too long or the temperature was too high. Adjust.
