Grilled Asparagus

Our favorite seasoned vegetable of the summer has to be asparagus. It is so easy to prepare and looks and tastes great with every dish. If you want to "wow" your guests without doing much of anything here's our go to:

You Will Need:
3 tbls Olive Oil
1 tbls Parmesan Cheese
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Pepper

To prepare, take a sheet of aluminum foil and make a little boat for your asparagus. I do this by folding in the four sides to create "rails" ensuring it's the right length and width of the amount of asparagus I am cooking.

 I then take the asparagus and cut of the bottom "white" chunk. It's not needed and it isn't as tasty as the other part of the stem. 

Then I drizzle the asparagus with olive oil, and then sprinkle on the salt and pepper. Using tongs I move the asparagus around in the boat coating each piece with the olive oil and salt and pepper. Then I add the Parmesan cheese. 

We then place the boat on the grill for about 10-15 minutes on high heat until it's well cooked. To get some char marks, we then place the asparagus on the grill for a few minutes just until you see some grill lines and take them off.

There you have it. Simple grilled asparagus. 

Note: You can also add 2 tbls lemon juice and some lemon zest if you'd prefer to have it a little bit more light a flavorful. Just reduce the amount of olive oil by 1 tablespoon.
