For best results, choose asparagus spears that are similar in thickness to ensure even cooking. Don't overcrowd the grill; work in batches if necessary to maintain proper heat and allow for even cooking. If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can also cook the asparagus on a grill pan on your stovetop. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice after grilling can brighten the flavors even more.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Grill: Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat (about 350-400°F) and lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)
02
StepSeason the Asparagus: In a large bowl, place the trimmed asparagus. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, ensuring each spear is lightly coated. Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the asparagus and gently toss to coat. (5 minutes)
03
StepGrill the Asparagus: Using tongs, carefully transfer the coated asparagus to the preheated grill. Arrange the spears in a single layer, perpendicular to the grill grates to prevent them from falling through. (2 minutes)
04
StepCook to Perfection: Grill the asparagus for 3 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender-crisp and lightly charred. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the asparagus spears. (7 minutes)
05
StepServe and Garnish: Remove the grilled asparagus from the grill and arrange on a serving plate. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy! (2 minutes)
