Serves 4

Ingredients

Fresh asparagus
1 pound, trimmed
Olive oil
3 tablespoons
Fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons, finely chopped
Lemon
1, zested and juiced
Salt
1/2 teaspoon
Black pepper
1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Trim the tough ends of the asparagus spears, ensuring they are fresh and tender.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, finely chopped rosemary, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  4. Brush the asparagus spears generously with the rosemary and lemon mixture, making sure to coat them evenly for maximum flavor.
  5. Place the asparagus on the grill, laying them perpendicular to the grates to prevent them from falling through. Cook for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have developed beautiful char marks.
  6. Remove the grilled asparagus from the heat. For an extra burst of flavor, drizzle with a little more lemon juice before serving hot.

Tips

  • 💡 For added depth of flavor, try marinating the asparagus in the rosemary and lemon mixture for 30 minutes before grilling.
  • 💡 You can substitute the rosemary with thyme or oregano for a different herbal twist.
  • 💡 Serve this dish alongside grilled meats or fish for a balanced meal, or over a bed of quinoa for a refreshing vegetarian option.
