Add the asparagus to a 9x13 baking dish. Then, add the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sea salt, and lemon pepper, and roll to coat evenly.

3
Clean the grill and brush with olive oil. (Alternatively, use a grill pan over high heat). Add the asparagus in a single layer, perpendicular to the grill grates (so they don’t fall through), with the thickest part aimed toward the hottest part of the grill.
4
Grill for ⏱️ 3-5 minutes, until crisp-tender to your liking, turning them often so they cook evenly.
5
Transfer the asparagus back to the 9x13 baking dish and roll it in the remaining balsamic and spices. You can season with additional freshly cracked salt as you'd like (taste first!). Serve the asparagus from this dish or transfer it to a platter and garnish as desired. Pictured: balsamic reduction, feta, and pine nuts-yum!
