Can you grill frozen packaged asparagus?

Question

I love grilling fresh asparagus, but it is a little costly. So if I can find frozen asparagus on sale, I wanted to see if I could thaw it and then grill it. So, does anyone know???

Thanks!!

Answer 1

Yes, as long as it's thawed, and you pat dry any excess moisture.

Answer 2

Just put the frozen asparagus in a bowl of cold water for a little bit, until flexible- then grill as normal

Answer 3

I just toss it directly from the freezer onto the grill to thaw and cook a bit. Yes, it sizzles a little but that doesn't matter to me.

I like the ones that are frozen separately and not stuck together.

I freeze all I can while it is in season so I have lots after it isn't so available fresh. Lay it on cookie sheet and freeze then put into zip lock bags for storage.

Answer 4

Frozen asparagus is also pricey:)  Unusually fresh is cheaper, per pound, so check the weight on the frozen packages.  You can thaw it, but it'll be limper than fresh

Answer 5

Yes, but the best way to do it..is boil some water..(while still frozen), then drop them in the boiling water..just until blanched, then toss them with a little olvie oil, lemon juice, whatever your preference is, then put them on the grill. If you wait for them to thaw, they will be mushy.

Answer 6

Sure, just let them thaw first.
