Ingredients

• 1 Pound fresh asparagus spears, trimmed
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) olive oil
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) kosher salt
• 1 Pinch black pepper, ground
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) balsamic vinegar
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) lemon zest

Steps

1. Preheat your outdoor grill to high heat. Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
2. In a large bowl, toss the trimmed asparagus spears with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
3. Place the asparagus spears on the preheated grill. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are lightly charred and tender when pierced with a fork.
4. In the last minute of grilling, drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the asparagus, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
5. Remove the asparagus from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and lemon zest for an added burst of flavor. Serve hot and enjoy the perfect blend of tangy, savory, and fresh flavors.
