Grilled Lemon Parmesan Asparagus

A little lemon juice and Parmesan cheese sprinkled over asparagus before placing it on the grill adds bright, nutty flavor to an otherwise ordinary side dish.

Ingredients

1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil, or more if needed
1 tablespoon lemon juice, or more if needed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese, plus extra for topping

Directions

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
Place asparagus in a large, shallow bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, going from bottom to top of stalks. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over asparagus; lightly toss to coat each spear.
Use tongs to transfer coated asparagus to the preheated grill. Grill to desired tenderness, 3 to 7 minutes.
Remove asparagus from the grill and place onto a serving plate. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan.
