BBQ Asparagus With Parmesan and Lemon Zest image

This is a seriously easy way to cook asparagus while outdoor grilling. No dishes, no fuss, and everything is in a simple disposable pouch. We loved the citrus tang the lemon gives the asparagus.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 bunch fresh asparagus
1 Tbsp olive oil
3 Tbsp Parmesan cheese, shaved or grated
1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper
salt, to taste
1/4 tsp lemon zest or 1/2 tsp lemon juice

Steps:

  • 1. Wash asparagus and snap off the bottom of the stalks.
  • 2. Place damp asparagus onto a piece of heavy-duty foil - shiny side up - large enough to leave 2-3 inches of clear foil on either side and 4-5 inches top and bottom of the asparagus.
  • 3. Drizzle olive oil over asparagus and toss to coat.
  • 4. Sprinkle with Parmesan, lemon zest (or juice), pepper, and salt. Toss to coat.
  • 5. Bring the top and bottom edges of the foil together and fold over several times, leaving some air space between vegetables and foil.
  • 6. Repeat with each side of your foil package until a sealed pouch is formed.
  • 7. Cook pouch indirectly on the BBQ - meaning on an upper rack, over a non-burning element, or to the side of your burning charcoal - for about 14 mins. Flip the pouch over after 7 mins. Total cooking time will vary with heat level of BBQ/fire mins
  • 8. When vegetables are cooked, the pouch will swell up with steam. Note - this will only work if your pouch is well sealed and you haven't accidentally poked a hole in it during handling.
  • 9. Open foil pouch and serve. Watch out for the steam when you first tear the foil - especially if the pouch is puffed up. Enjoy!
