You only need two ingredients to create the best roasted asparagus – perfectly charred, flavorful, and tender. Since I’ve been doing a lot of grilling this summer, I’ve been searching for an interesting grilled asparagus. I’ve tried many ways, including soy sauce glazed, soy-vinegar glazed, and many others. The asparagus has always turned out delicious, but not perfect. Finally I discovered that hoisin sauce is THE ONE.
In this recipe, you just need two ingredients – olive oil and hoisin sauce. Simply toss the asparagus in them and throw them over direct fire. The asparagus will be charred beautifully and become tender in texture, slightly sweet, and extra flavorful. Of course you can cook this dish in the oven, too. We love serving this dish as a side for dinner because it takes just eight minutes to cook in the oven. I include both methods in the recipe.
