Preparation

Wash the asparagus thoroughly and trim the bottoms to ensure even cooking.
Lay the asparagus in a pan, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss gently to coat.

Grilling

Lay the seasoned asparagus on a preheated grill in a single layer. Grill for 5-10 minutes over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until they have char marks and are fork-tender.

Finishing Touches

Remove the asparagus from the grill and toss with minced garlic and parmesan cheese.
Transfer the grilled asparagus to a serving platter and enjoy!

For extra flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice right before serving. You can also grill it in foil for easier cleanup.
