Grilled Asparagus
Description
Fresh asparagus spears are trimmed to remove tough woody ends before coating them with olive oil. They are then evenly sprinkled with salt, black pepper, grated Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder, which provides a savory, slightly pungent flavor profile. Tossing the spears ensures an even distribution of seasonings.
Grilling over high heat for 2 to 3 minutes cooks the asparagus quickly, tenderizing the stalk while imparting subtle char marks that add depth and texture. Serving immediately maintains the optimal crisp-tender texture and warmth.
Trim asparagus by bending it gently until it snaps at the natural tender point or by cutting away the thicker end with a knife. Leftovers can be stored airtight in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days and reheated by microwave, skillet, or oven broiler for convenience.
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus trimmed, fresh spears
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to high heat. Toss the asparagus spears with the olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper, parmesan, and garlic, and toss again.
- Grill the asparagus over high heat for 2-3 minutes, until tender. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Trim the tough woody ends of asparagus by snapping or cutting before cooking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.
- Reheat grilled asparagus using a microwave, skillet, or broiling method to restore warmth.
