Ingredients
  • 1 pound Asparagus
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1/2 Lemon
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon Black pepper

Prepare the Asparagus

Wash and trim the asparagus by snapping off the tough ends. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

Season the Asparagus

In a bowl, toss the asparagus with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Ensure the asparagus is evenly coated.

Grill the Asparagus

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the asparagus on the grill grates perpendicular to the bars to prevent them from falling through. Grill for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender-crisp and slightly charred.

Serve

Remove the asparagus from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
