Method
Preparation of Asparagus
Wash and Trim the Asparagus
Rinse the asparagus under cold water to remove any dirt. Trim the tough ends of the asparagus by snapping them off or cutting about 1-2 inches from the bottom.
Making the Marinade
Combine Marinade Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and lemon juice until well combined.
Marinating the Asparagus
Marinate the Asparagus
Place the trimmed asparagus in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the asparagus, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Cooking the Asparagus
Grill or Roast the Asparagus
Preheat the grill or oven to 400°F (200°C). If grilling, place the marinated asparagus directly on the grill grates and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until tender and slightly charred. If roasting, spread the asparagus on a baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes, until tender.
Serving
Serve and Garnish
Transfer the cooked asparagus to a serving platter. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley before serving.
