Ingredients

• 1 pound asparagus spears
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium red onion
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Rinse the asparagus spears in cold water and trim the woody ends by snapping or cutting them off.

Step 3

Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the red onion into thin wedges.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 5

Place the asparagus, cherry tomatoes, and red onion in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the marinade over the vegetables and toss until evenly coated.

Step 6

Arrange the vegetables on a grill-safe basket or tray, or directly on the preheated grill grates in a single layer.

Step 7

Grill for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the asparagus is tender and lightly charred. The cherry tomatoes should be soft, and the onion should have caramelized edges.

Step 8

Transfer the grilled vegetables to a serving platter.

Step 9

Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese just before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish or light appetizer.
