Steps:
- Light a grill.

- Grill the asparagus over moderately high heat, turning, until tender and blistered in spots, about 6 minutes.

Tips:
- Choose the right asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are firm and brightly colored, with tight, closed tips. Avoid spears that are wilted, limp, or have brown or yellow spots.
- Trim the asparagus: Before cooking, trim the woody ends of the asparagus spears. To do this, simply snap off the bottom inch or two of each spear, or use a sharp knife to cut it off.
- Cook the asparagus properly: Asparagus can be cooked in a variety of ways, including roasting, grilling, steaming, and boiling. No matter which method you choose, be sure to cook the asparagus until it is tender but still slightly crisp. Overcooked asparagus will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
- Make the smoky glaze: The smoky glaze is what gives this recipe its unique flavor. To make the glaze, simply whisk together soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and olive oil in a small bowl. Brush the glaze over the asparagus spears before cooking.
- Serve immediately: Smoky glazed asparagus is best served immediately after cooking. It can be served as a side dish or appetizer, or even as a main course.
Conclusion:
Smoky glazed asparagus is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The smoky glaze gives the asparagus a unique and flavorful twist, and the asparagus itself is tender and crisp. This recipe is sure to impress your friends and family, and it is a great way to enjoy this healthy vegetable.
