Rinse the asparagus under cold water and trim the woody ends, typically removing about 1 to 2 inches from the bottom.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C).
Place the asparagus directly onto the grill grates perpendicular to the bars to ensure they don't fall through.
Grill the asparagus for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
Remove the asparagus from the grill and return them to the mixing bowl.
Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle lemon zest over the top.
Add the vegan parmesan cheese and gently toss to combine.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a delicious dairy-free side dish.
