Ingredients

  • 1 pound asparagus trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 lemon
  • Parmesan or Cotija cheese optional

Instructions

  • Preheat grill for high heat.
  • Lightly coat the asparagus spears with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Grill over high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or to desired tenderness. Drizzle with lemon juice.

Notes

  • Choose firm, crisp stalks with tight
  • Try to buy as local as possible. Visit your local farmers' market or read the labels fixed to your bunch. The labels typically have point of origin info; the lesser the travel distance the better.
  • Choose fatter spears for grilling. They stand up well to high heat and allow you to get that important exterior caramelization while also maintaining its crisp sweetness.
  • Toss the asparagus in oil before grilling to make sure that they don't dry out on the grill and get all shriveled and rubbery
