Summer and fresh local asparagus come but once a year. This is a super-simple way to enjoy both.
2 bunches asparagus, about 1 kg
4 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
1/8 tsp salt
Preheat barbecue to medium-high. Snap tough ends from asparagus. In a large bowl, toss asparagus with oil and salt. Place asparagus on the grill perpendicular to grill grates or in a vegetable basket. Barbecue, turning occasionally, until tender-crisp, about 5 min.

Fat asparagus spears are full of flavour and easier to handle on the grill.
