Ingredients

1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil, or more if needed
1 tablespoon lemon juice, or more if needed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for topping

Instructions

Preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
Place the asparagus spears in a large, shallow bowl. Drizzle generously with olive oil and fresh lemon juice, ensuring even coating. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the asparagus, then lightly toss to coat each spear.
Using tongs, carefully transfer the Parmesan-coated asparagus to the preheated grill. Grill for approximately 3 to 7 minutes, or until the asparagus reaches your desired level of tenderness. Rotate occasionally for even cooking.
Remove the grilled asparagus from the grill and arrange it attractively on a serving plate. For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle with additional freshly grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
