Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Rinse the asparagus spears under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Trim the tough ends of the asparagus by snapping them off or cutting about 1-2 inches from the bottom.

Marination

  1. 2

    Season the Asparagus

    In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Whisk together until well combined. Add the asparagus to the bowl and toss to evenly coat the spears with the oil and seasoning mixture.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C). If using a grill pan, place it on the stove over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Grill the Asparagus

    Place the seasoned asparagus directly on the grill grates or on the grill pan. Grill for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until the asparagus is tender and has grill marks. Avoid overcooking to maintain a crisp texture.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve

    Remove the grilled asparagus from the grill and transfer it to a serving platter. Drizzle with additional lemon juice if desired and serve hot as a side dish.
