Main Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus (approximately 30 medium spears)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (plus 1/2 lemon for juice)
- 1 tablespoon grated parmesan
- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Soak four to six 12-inch wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes. Preheat grill to medium (375º-425º). Remove tough ends of asparagus. Place 4 or 5 asparagus stalks next to one another and skewer them crosswise in two places: below the tips and about 1 inch from the bottom of the stalk. Continue adding asparagus until about 10-12 pieces are on the first two skewers. Repeat with remaining asparagus and additional skewers.
Step 2
Combine olive oil and garlic. Brush both sides of skewered asparagus, then season with salt and pepper. In a separate dish, combine lemon zest, Parmesan and red pepper flakes.
Step 3
Place asparagus on grill for 2-3 minutes. Flip, sprinkle with Parmesan mixture and continue to grill about 3 minutes, or until desired doneness. Remove from grill, drizzle with lemon juice.
