Grilled Parmesan Asparagus

by 19 Comments

Delicious crispy asparagus grilled on an open flame releases the flavors of the added ingredients and makes kids love their veggies!

Do you get as excited as I do when grilling season comes around? With a working farm just down the street the first crop of the season is asparagus. This is the time when my prodigal son returns for the life of “eating at mom’s” every Sunday. This is my time to be able to cook the meals I love and set another plate or two at the table. The meals of sausage, salmon, hot dogs, chicken, burgers, fresh veggies, sautéed mushrooms and onions become common and the fresh summer sides overflow my counter. Sports is on the television and conversations take place in the kitchen and living area. And in case you are wondering, when I get a good big fire going in the grill I do go overboard and make enough variety for the week! Yum!

      Glad you like it! I am picky about my veggies. I like fresh and if not raw, then lightly cooked. This grilled is perfect! Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend.

    This looks delicious, Marilyn! My asparagus is done for the year but I may need to pick some up at the store to try this!

    I found you on Tuesdays with a Twist and would love to have you share your talent with us on Farm Fresh Tuesdays! Hope to see you there!

      Thank you Lisa. Our asparagus couldn’t be picked until the very end of its time in the field. I am afraid we aren’t going to have many apples either since we had a heavy frost when they were flowering. I will go look for the party. I hope I still have time. I will add it to my party directoru too. Thanks for the invite!

    This looks fantastic! We grill year round, and I totally appreciate what you were saying about extra people and lovely conversation! We will actually be using the smoker today. I don’t remember if we ever did asparagus on the grill. We may have to give that a try! Lovely post!
