Equipment

  • 1 grill basket see notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lbs asparagus 1 bunch
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, (350-400°F).
  • Rinse both the tomatoes and asparagus under cold running water. Then, snap the tough ends off the asparagus.
  • In a large bowl, gently massage avocado oil into the vegetables and set aside.
  • Prepare your grill basket. You have some options:
    A) Line the grill basket with tin foil to prevent the juices from dripping onto the fire
    B) Rub some (1 tsp) avocado oil over the surface to prevent sticking.
  • Place the grill basket on the preheated grill to heat up.
  • Then pour the oil-coated veggies into the basket.
  • Grill vegetables for 5-10 minutes or until the asparagus is tender, and slightly charred, and the tomatoes begin to burst. Cooking times may vary, keep an eye on the vegetables to prevent them from getting too charred.
  • Remove the grill basket and vegetables from the grill.
  • Add additional seasonings of choice, freshly cracked pepper, freshly squeezed citrus, fresh herbs, etc.

Notes

Grill Basket: You can find these at you local grocery store or cooking supply store. They are also available on Amazon.
