Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb asparagus
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp parmesan cheese (optional, grated)
Instructions
Wash the asparagus under cold water and trim off the tough, woody ends (approximately 1 to 2 inches). Pat dry with a clean towel.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375-400°F (190-205°C). If using a grill pan, preheat it over the stovetop on medium-high heat.
In a small mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and well blended.
Place the asparagus in a large bowl or on a baking sheet and drizzle with the mustard-mayonnaise glaze. Use your hands or a brush to coat the asparagus evenly.
Arrange the asparagus spears in a single layer on the preheated grill grates or grill pan. Grill for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally with tongs, until tender and slightly charred.
If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the asparagus during the last minute of grilling for a cheesy finish.
Remove the asparagus from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Serve immediately as a side dish or appetizer.
