Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus spears
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium red onion
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Rinse the asparagus spears in cold water and trim the woody ends by snapping or cutting them off.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the red onion into thin wedges.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the asparagus, cherry tomatoes, and red onion in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the marinade over the vegetables and toss until evenly coated.
Arrange the vegetables on a grill-safe basket or tray, or directly on the preheated grill grates in a single layer.
Grill for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the asparagus is tender and lightly charred. The cherry tomatoes should be soft, and the onion should have caramelized edges.
Transfer the grilled vegetables to a serving platter.
Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese just before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or light appetizer.
