Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus spears
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium lemon
- 0.25 cup vegan parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).
While the grill is preheating, wash and trim the woody ends of the asparagus spears.
In a large bowl, combine the asparagus with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss until the asparagus is evenly coated.
Once the grill is hot, place the asparagus spears directly on the grill grates in a single layer.
Grill the asparagus for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have attractive grill marks.
While the asparagus is grilling, zest the lemon to get about 1 teaspoon of zest, and then juice the lemon to get about 2 tablespoons of juice.
Once the asparagus is done, remove them from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Drizzle the grilled asparagus with the lemon juice and sprinkle with lemon zest.
Top with vegan parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy your delicious vegan grilled asparagus with lemon and parmesan!
