Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F) or preheat your oven to 425°F if roasting.
Rinse the asparagus under cold water and trim the woody ends by snapping or cutting about 1-2 inches off the bottom.
In a large bowl, toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
If grilling, place the asparagus directly on the grill in a single layer. Grill for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and slightly charred. If roasting, spread the asparagus evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil and roast for 10-12 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through.
Transfer the cooked asparagus to a serving plate and drizzle with balsamic vinegar.
If desired, sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan cheese before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
