- 1 bunch asparagus spears about 12 oz, thick spears preferred
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 lemon halved, optional
- 3 to 4 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- 1 tablespoon butter for serving, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high.
- Wash the asparagus and shake dry. Hold the center and the end of the asparagus and bend to break off woody ends. Toss with olive oil & seasonings.
- Place the asparagus and lemons, cut side down if using, directly on the grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender crisp with char marks. turning occasionally.
- Remove the lemon & asparagus from the grill and immediately top asparagus with parmesan cheese. Squeeze the fresh lemon juice over top and serve warm with butter if desired.
Notes
- Thick asparagus spears are better for grilling as they can get a little bit of char without overcooking.
- While they can be directly grilled on the barbecue grate, they can certainly be cooked in a grill pan or tray or wrapped in foil.
- When preparing asparagus, hold the bottom end with one hand and the middle of the stalk with the other end and snap off the bottom. The asparagus will naturally break where the woody section starts on the bottom, discard the bottom portion.
- To get a little bit of char without overcooking the asparagus, medium-high heat is best.
