Grilled Asparagus in Dill Butter

By tschnet1

Ingredients

• 1 pound asparagus spears
• 2 tbsp butter, melted
• 1 tbsp snipped fresh dill or 1 tsp dried dill
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
• Finely shredded Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Snap off and discard woody bases from asparagus. On a platter, drizzle asparagus with butter and sprinkle with dill, garlic, and pepper. Toss to combine.

For a charcoal grill, place asparagus on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals. Grill for 7 to 10 minutes or until asparagus is crisp-tender, rolling asparagus occasionally to ensure even cooking. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place asparagus on grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as directed.)

To serve, transfer asparagus to a serving dish. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
