📝 Instructions

7 steps
1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F) or preheat your oven to 425°F if roasting.

2

Rinse the asparagus under cold water and trim the woody ends by snapping or cutting about 1-2 inches off the bottom.

3

In a large bowl, toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.

4

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.

5

Transfer the cooked asparagus to a serving plate and drizzle with balsamic vinegar.

6

If desired, sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan cheese before serving.

7

Serve warm and enjoy!
