Yields about 4 servings

Ingredients:

1 pound fresh asparagus

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon Duck Duck Chicken Poultry Seasoning & Rub

1 lemon, halved

Directions:

Preheat the grill to medium heat, 350°F to 400°F.

Remove the woody ends of the asparagus by snapping off the ends. You can do this by bending each stalk gently, about 2/3 of the way down the stalk, until it naturally breaks-this is where the woody part of the asparagus begins. Use a knife to even up the ends of the stalks. Discard the ends or save for another recipe-like cream of asparagus soup.

Place the asparagus spears in a baking sheet, drizzle with the olive oil and toss to coat.

Sprinkle with Duck Duck Chicken Poultry Seasoning & Rub and toss again.

Place the asparagus across the grill grates-being careful not to lose any between the grates. Grill for 6 to 10 minutes or until the spears are tender and crisp. Use tongs to roll the spears over for even cooking and grill marks.

Transfer grilled asparagus to a platter and squeeze lemon juice over the asparagus.

Serve warm or room temperature.
