Instructions
-
Prepare the Marinade: In a large zip-lock bag, combine the brown sugar, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, and black pepper. Seal the bag and shake well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
-
Marinate the Asparagus: Add the asparagus spears to the bag with the marinade. Ensure they are well-coated, then seal the bag and refrigerate. Let them marinate for at least 1 hour, but for best results, allow them to soak overnight.
-
Grill the Asparagus: Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat. Remove the asparagus from the marinade and place them directly on the hot grill. Grill for about 5 minutes, turning frequently to ensure they cook evenly and develop a nice char.
-
Optional Glaze: For an extra punch of flavor, you may choose to heat the leftover marinade in a small saucepan until bubbling, then drizzle it over the grilled asparagus just before serving.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the grilled asparagus to a serving platter. They can be enjoyed immediately or allowed to cool and served at room temperature, making them a versatile dish for any meal or gathering.
