Traeger Asparagus Recipe
Simple seasoning and a squeeze of lemon juice bring so much flavor to this easy Traeger asparagus recipe! The best way to cook asparagus is on a hot grill, and this simple recipe and how-to video will show you how to make it perfect every single time.
Ingredients
- 1 lb asparagus, tough ends removed
- 1.5 tbsp avocado oil
- 1/2 large lemon, juiced
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Instructions
- When you’re ready to cook your easy-smoked asparagus turn the Traeger pellet grill on to smoke and leave the lid open for 5 minutes to start the smoke. Close the lid and set the temperature to 350 degrees F. It will take about 15 minutes to get up to the temperature.
- Season the asparagus by drizzling on the oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and pepper. Mix the asparagus with the seasoning with your hands to ensure every stalk is coated.
- Place asparagus on the grill grates in a single layer, and close the lid. Cook for 10 minutes, and flip the asparagus over. Close the lid and cook for another 5-10 minutes (thinner stalks won’t take as long), and then remove this easy side dish from the grill!
- The asparagus will be bright green with bits of browning when it is done. Top with a little lemon zest or parmesan cheese if you’d like.
