If you are a woman over the age of 35, eating fiber is CRITICAL to fat loss and feeling your best. We need to eat enough fiber to keep our gut bugs fed and our digestion running smoothly, and it’s a must for controlling our hunger and cravings. Asparagus is an easy and FAST way to get in more fiber! Ready in 10 minutes or less, this dish is perfect for those beautiful summer evenings when you don’t feel like being trapped in the kitchen.
Not just satisfying and tasty, asparagus is also a health superstar:
Low in calories and carbs
Yet high in fiber
Rich in prebiotics to support a thriving gut microbiome
Packed with vitamins and minerals
Directions for Grilled Asparagus
Preheat your grill to high and brush the grates clean.
Rinse your asparagus well! The tops like to trap dirt.
Dry the stalks and trim the woody ends off the asparagus by breaking them off; it will naturally snap off where the woody part starts once you start to bend the stalk near the bottom.
Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper.
Place the stalks directly on the grill and close the lid. Check on them after ~3 minutes and flip. Grill until bright green, lightly charred and tender. Depending on the size and your grill, it may take 5-10 minutes total.
Serve hot with a squeeze of lemon if desired.
