Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I’m so excited that market season is finally here again! I love sharing weekly farmers market recipes and I’m already looking forward to what this season has in store. This week I picked up some fresh asparagus at my local market for this Grilled Parmesan Garlic Asparagus.
If you’ve never tried grilling asparagus, you really should. It’s super simple and has a wonderful flavor. You can place a pan right on the grill or use a grilling basket.
Or you can do what I do and just construct a make-shift grilling tray out of some aluminum foil, which makes clean-up a breeze!
We like to grill our asparagus with some olive oil, garlic salt and pepper, then finish it off with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese. Even my picky eaters enjoy it cooked this way!
Feel free to substitute butter for olive oil or mix up the seasonings to suit your tastes.
Be sure to save this recipe to your favorite Pinterest board for later.

Grilled Parmesan Asparagus
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus ends trimmed
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat outdoor grill for medium heat.
- Using a double thickness of aluminum foil, make a tray with raised sides to hold the asparagus. You can also use a small baking pan with sides, just make sure you don’t mind putting it on the grill. Drizzle the aluminum tray or baking pan with a bit of olive oil.
- Place the asparagus on the pan in a single layer. Drizzle with another tablespoon or so of olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic salt and pepper.
- Grill for 7-10 minutes, or until asparagus is crisp-tender. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
