Grilled Asparagus With Caramel Vinaigrette
Ingredients
1 lb fresh asparagus spears (rinsed)
3 tablespoons canola oil, divided
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
Steps
- Cut 1 inch from tough root end of asparagus spears and discard. To do this quickly, group half the spears together, align ends, and slice with sharp knife. Place asparagus in medium bowl with 1 tablespoon of the oil, salt, and pepper; toss to coat.

- Meanwhile, preheat large grill pan (or sauté pan) on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place asparagus in pan; cook 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally, or until desired tenderness. Transfer asparagus to serving dish and top with caramel vinaigrette. Serve warm.
