Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Asparagus, Trimmed
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ¼ tsp Black Pepper
  • Lemon, Halved

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the smoker to 225℉ and load with your wood of choice.
  • Toss the trimmed asparagus in olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Transfer directly on the grill (Or, if preferred use a grilling basket or make a basket using heavy duty foil).
  • Cook for approx. 50-60 minutes, turning halfway through. Check for doneness at the 50 minute mark. If you like softer asparagus, keep cooking until your desired tenderness is achieved.
  • Remove from the smoker and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the stalks. Serve immediately.

Notes

Note 1 - Make sure to use asparagus with similar widths to ensure even cooking.
