Time 7m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

500 g asparagus (about 20 spears, or enough for four people)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
4 tablespoons olive oil
salt & pepper (to taste)
2/3 cup fresh parmesan cheese (grated or shaved)

Steps:

  • Heat a large griddle pan, remove the hard ends from the asparagus and dry griddle on both sides until nicely marked (about 5 minutes).
  • As soon as they're ready, put them on the plates and dress with a good squeeze of lemon juice and about twice as much olive oil. (The quantities listed in the ingredients above are really rough as you just need to dress this dish to your own taste.).
  • Season with salt & pepper to taste and then add freshly shaved or grated parmesan cheese.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are bright green, firm, and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are wilted, limp, or have brown or yellow spots.
  • Prepare the asparagus properly: Trim the woody ends of the asparagus spears and rinse them under cold water. You can also peel the asparagus spears if desired, but this is not necessary.
  • Marinate the asparagus: Marinating the asparagus in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs helps to infuse it with flavor and prevent it from drying out during grilling.
  • Grill the asparagus over medium-high heat: This will help to char the asparagus slightly and give it a smoky flavor. Be careful not to overcook the asparagus, as it should still be slightly crisp when done.
  • Serve the asparagus immediately: Grilled asparagus is best served hot off the grill. You can drizzle it with additional olive oil, lemon juice, or grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Conclusion:

Grilled lemon parmesan asparagus is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a healthy and flavorful way to enjoy asparagus, and it can be served with a variety of main courses. Whether you are grilling asparagus for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, these tips will help you to create the perfect grilled asparagus dish.
