Charred grilled asparagus with lemon wedges and shaved parmesan

Fresh spring asparagus grilled until tender-crisp and brightened with a squeeze of lemon.

Spring on the grill

Thick asparagus spears charred over fire and finished with lemon — the fastest way to make spring vegetables sing.

Step by stepInstructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high.
  2. Toss the asparagus with the olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Grill 4-6 minutes, turning once, until tender-crisp with char marks.
  4. Whisk the lemon zest, lemon juice, and garlic; toss with the hot asparagus.
  5. Sprinkle with Parmesan and parsley and serve warm.

💡 Chef tips & storage

Thick spears hold up best on the grill. Watch thin spears closely — they go from crisp to limp fast.
