Ingredients

• 1 pound asparagus
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, aiming for about 400°F.

Step 2

Rinse the asparagus spears under cool water and pat dry with a paper towel. Trim the woody ends of the asparagus by bending each stalk until it naturally snaps, or trim about 1 inch off the bottom.

Step 3

In a large bowl, toss the asparagus with olive oil, ensuring all spears are well-coated.

Step 4

Add lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the bowl. Mix thoroughly so the asparagus is evenly seasoned.

Step 5

Lay the asparagus on the preheated grill perpendicular to the grates to prevent them from falling through. Grill the asparagus for about 4 minutes on one side.

Step 6

Using tongs, carefully flip each spear and grill the other side for another 4 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender with light char marks.

Step 7

Once grilled, remove the asparagus from the grill and place them on a serving platter.

Step 8

Sprinkle the grilled asparagus with fresh parsley for a burst of flavor and color before serving.
