Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (optional, grated)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Trim the woody ends of the asparagus by snapping off the bottom of each spear where it naturally breaks.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the vinaigrette. Set aside.
Step 4
Place the trimmed asparagus on a large plate or in a shallow dish. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
Step 5
Arrange the asparagus in a single layer on the preheated grill. Grill for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the spears are tender and slightly charred.
Step 6
Remove the asparagus from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Step 7
Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the grilled asparagus and toss gently to coat.
Step 8
Optionally, sprinkle grated parmesan cheese on top for added flavor.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy!
