Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
Instructions
Rinse the asparagus under cold water and trim the tough ends by snapping them off or cutting with a knife.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 8-10 minutes, or until the liquid thickens into a syrup-like consistency. Set aside to cool slightly.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Place the asparagus in a large bowl, drizzle with the olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat the asparagus evenly.
Arrange the asparagus spears on the grill in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, then turn and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the spears are tender and have light grill marks.
Remove the asparagus from the grill and arrange them on a serving platter.
Drizzle the prepared balsamic syrup over the grilled asparagus and sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan cheese.
Serve warm and enjoy!
