Grilled Asparagus
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 pound of asparagus, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 tablespoon of freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, toss 1 pound of trimmed asparagus with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper until evenly coated.
- Place the asparagus spears on the grill in a single layer, perpendicular to the grates, to prevent them from falling through. Grill for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until the asparagus is tender and slightly charred.
- Remove the grilled asparagus from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
- Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of freshly grated Parmesan cheese, if desired, and serve immediately.
Grilled asparagus has a rich history dating back to ancient Greece, where it was prized for its delicate flavor and health benefits. In modern times, chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver have popularized this dish, elevating it to a gourmet status. The dish is particularly popular in Mediterranean regions, where fresh asparagus is abundant. The best version of this dish can be found in Tuscany, Italy, where the asparagus is grilled to perfection and drizzled with extra virgin olive oil. The key to a great grilled asparagus lies in the quality of the asparagus itself and the charred, smoky flavor imparted by the grill.
