A yummy dish that will surprise those who don't like vegetables and even asparagus.
Ingredients
Directions
- Coat grill rack with non-stick cooking spray. Pre-heat grill to medium-high direct heat. Break tough ends from asparagus; set aside.
- Blend melted butter, olive oil, and garlic pepper in small bowl.
- Place asparagus in grill basket or in center of a 12x12" sheet of heavy duty foil (asparagus can be placed directly on grill parallel to grid). Brush asparagus with half of butter mixture; place on grill.
- Grill covered 6 to 8 minutes or until asparagus is lightly charred and tender, carefully turning once. Remove to platter.
- Drizzle with remaining butter mixture; toss to coat.
- Sprinkle with the shredded parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
- Note: you can use the Foreman grill instead of the grill without the tin foil and it will taste just as good.

Sooooo yummy. Especially the charred crispy tips of the asparagus. And In my recipe it shows 113 calories, 4g carbs, 3g protein, 10g fat, 2g fiber, 9mg cholesterol and 96mg sodium. I guess when I typed this up, the site thought differently.

I'm guessing you calculated for 4 servings instead of 2. If you change to 4 the sites numbers will match yours. Oh and it's delicious too.

I did this on the Forman Grill and it was absolutely delicious. My husband said that we have to make this a regular side from now on and he doesn't even like veggies! haha
Thanks so much for passing this along!

If you don't have a grill handy, I roast mine in the oven on 450 deg for about 20 minutes on cookie sheet, uncovered. Make sure to sprinkle with olive oil and loads of fresh cracked pepper. When you remove from oven, sprinkle with lemon juice.... awesome!

Only being that asparagus is free with nothing on it this recipe is valued at 6 points
Looks delicious though
