Ingredients

  • 1 lb asparagus approximately 30 medium spears
  • 1 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/8 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp lemon zest plus 1/2 lemon for juice
  • 1 Tbs grated parmesan
  • 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • Soak four to six 12-inch wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes. Preheat grill to medium (375º-425º). Remove tough ends of asparagus. Place 4 or 5 asparagus stalks next to one another and skewer them crosswise in two places: below the tips and about 1 inch from the bottom of the stalk. Continue adding asparagus until about 10-12 pieces are on the first two skewers. Repeat with remaining asparagus and additional skewers.
  • Combine olive oil and garlic. Brush both sides of skewered asparagus, then season with salt and pepper. In a separate dish, combine lemon zest, Parmesan and red pepper flakes.
  • Place asparagus on grill for 2-3 minutes. Flip, sprinkle with Parmesan mixture and continue to grill about 3 minutes, or until desired doneness. Remove from grill, drizzle with lemon juice.
