Grilled balsamic asparagus is a simple yet delicious dish that combines the flavors of fresh asparagus, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and a hint of black pepper. This recipe is perfect for a quick side dish that's both healthy and flavorful. The asparagus spears are lightly charred on the grill, giving them a smoky taste that complements the tangy balsamic vinegar perfectly.
- Choose fresh, firm asparagus spears that are bright green and free from blemishes or soft spots.
- Trim the woody ends off the asparagus before grilling to ensure they cook evenly.
- If you don’t have a grill, you can use a grill pan or even roast the asparagus in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 10-15 minutes.
- To enhance the flavor, you can add minced garlic or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
- Be sure not to overcook the asparagus; they should be tender-crisp, not mushy.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese or toasted pine nuts on top before serving.
