Notes

Store grilled asparagus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days. Reheat quickly in the microwave or on the stovetop. Do not overcook the asparagus; it should be tender but still have a slight crunch. Try adding additional seasonings like garlic powder, red pepper flakes, or balsamic glaze for added flavor.
