Grilled Asparagus

By ctaubenheim

Ingredients

• 32 thick asparagus spears, trimmed
• 6 Tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt, or to taste
• 1/4 tsp pepper, or to taste
• 3-5 Tbsp lemon juice
• 2-3 Tbsp fresh parmesan cheese, grated or shaved
• 2 hard boiled eggs, chopped (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

1. Toss asparagus in 2 tsp of olive oil, salt and pepper lightly.
2. Grill asparagus over medium heat for 5 - 7 minutes, turning the spears
until the skin is slightly charred all over or broil the stalks in the
rack of broiler pan, 4 - 5 inches from the heat for 5 - 7 minutes, or
until asparagus is crisp and tender, turning once halfway thru. The
asparagus should feel soft in the center of the thickest part.
3. Transfer the asparagus to a platter. Drizzle remaining 4 Tbsp of olive
oil and squeeze the lemon juice over the stalks. Sprinkle cheese and
eggs over the top, serve right away.
