Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 375-400°F).
Rinse the asparagus thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Trim the tough, woody ends of the asparagus by snapping them off or cutting with a knife.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the asparagus to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the seasoning mixture.
Place the seasoned asparagus spears directly onto the preheated grill grates, arranging them in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
Grill the asparagus for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally with tongs, until they are tender and have slight grill marks. Be careful not to overcook.
Remove the asparagus from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired.
Serve immediately as a side dish and enjoy!
