Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh asparagus
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the asparagus under cold water and pat it dry with a paper towel.
Trim the woody ends of the asparagus spears, usually about 1 to 2 inches from the base.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, ground black pepper, and salt.
Place the asparagus in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the seasoned olive oil mixture over the asparagus, ensuring all spears are well-coated.
Arrange the asparagus spears in a single layer directly on the grill grates perpendicular to the bars to prevent them from falling through.
Grill the asparagus for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and show grill marks.
Remove the asparagus from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for added freshness and flavor.
Serve immediately as a delightful keto side dish.
