Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed Choose fresh asparagus for the best flavor.
2 tablespoons olive oil Extra virgin olive oil is recommended.
1 tablespoon lemon juice (preferably fresh) Fresh lemon juice enhances the flavor.
½ cup feta cheese, crumbled For a creamier texture, goat cheese can be used instead.
to taste Salt Season to your preference.
to taste Pepper Freshly cracked black pepper is recommended.

Method

Preparation

Rinse the asparagus under cold water and pat them dry. Trim the woody ends.

Seasoning

In a large bowl, toss the asparagus with olive oil until evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper.

Grilling

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the seasoned asparagus for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally.

Serving

Remove the asparagus from the grill and drizzle with fresh lemon juice. Sprinkle crumbled feta over the top and serve immediately.

Notes

For alternatives, use goat cheese instead of feta or lime instead of lemon. Ensure asparagus is well-coated with olive oil to avoid sticking during grilling.
