Lemon Parmesan Asparagus
prep time 5 mins
cook time 10 mins
Ingredients
2 lbs Asparagus
2 lemons
¼ cup fresh parmesan cheese, grated
2-3 cups mixed greens
Directions
1. Preheat grill on high for several minutes with lid closed. While it’s heating, trim ends of asparagus.
2. Pro Tip// The goal with trimming asparagus is to remove the woody stem, but not waste any of the tender stalk. To find out where the woody part ends, hold the asparagus and apply pressure at the edge, pulling up until 1-2inches “snaps” off. Use that as a guide to trim the rest of the bunch.
3. Halve lemons. Once grill is hot, place lemon halves, cut side down on the grates. Add asparagus to the grill, and turn every 2-3 minutes until asparagus is softened and charred to your liking. Remove both asparagus and lemons from the grill.
4. Transfer to a serving plate, sprinkling with fresh parmesan, and squeeze the lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper.
5. Transform the leftovers into a quick salad- topping mixed greens with leftover grilled asparagus, cut into bite sized pieces, adding extra parmesan cheese, and more grilled lemon juice as a dressing. Enjoy!
