No matter what kind of grill you have, you can always make a flavorful dish that conjures up the taste of summer. While most people think the barbecue is for barbecued meats, you can make great vegetable side dishes on the grill as well. Try putting some asparagus on the grill and getting those trademark grill lines on your veggies too. Add some fresh herbs like oregano or rosemary with the asparagus to add some flavor to the dish. Asparagus has many health benefits and is rich in iron, zinc, vitamin A and dietary fiber. Because grilling is one of the healthier ways to cook – opposed to sautéing or pan frying in fats – this dish is exceptionally healthy. Pair grilled asparagus with grilled chicken or salmon and a side of brown rice for a healthy meal. In this video, Chef Mark will show you how to grill asparagus in your own backyard. For more great cooking demonstration videos, subscribe to the LearnToCookOnline YouTube channel.
