🥘 Ingredients

7 items

• 1 pound asparagus
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

2. Rinse the asparagus under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Trim the woody ends, about 1 to 2 inches from the bottom.

3. In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

4. Add the asparagus to the bowl and toss until the asparagus is evenly coated with the mixture.

5. Place the asparagus spears directly on the grill horizontally to the grates to prevent them from falling through. Close the lid.

6. Grill the asparagus for about 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have grill marks.

7. Remove the asparagus from the grill and immediately sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese while they are still hot.

8. Serve warm as a side dish to your favorite grilled main course.
