- Put a tablespoon of olive oil on the bottom of the griddle, place the asparragus with the flat side down and add a pinch of sea salt

- Once the lower part is partially roasted, turn them upside down and add another pinch of sea salt

- The asparragus will be ready when they began to turn dark green and softer

I first thought of cutting the asparragus in 3-4 cm long pieces and mixing then with the rest, but I finally made the composition above where the beautiful asparragus could be perfectly seen.
