Description
As easy as it gets, this fresh flavorful asparagus dish might just be the tastiest way to get your greens! Oven baked instructions below. Vegan option provided.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 bunches of asparagus (about 24 spears), ends trimmed
- 2 tbsp avocado oil (or other high heat cooking oil such as grape seed)
- Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tbsp)
- Zest of 1 lemon (about 1 tsp)
- Coarse ground salt and pepper to taste
- 1/3 cup feta, crumbled
Instructions
- Preheat your Barbeque to medium high (see below for baking instructions)
- In a medium sized bowl, place asparagus spears and drizzle with 1 Tbsp of the oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and mix to coat evenly.
- Place spears on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning over half way. You want the spears to be tender but still a bit crisp. Allow the spears to char slightly, as this will add delicious flavor!
- Remove asparagus from the grill and place on your serving dish (can be left whole or cut into thirds) . Add the remaining oil, lemon juice, lemon zest and more salt and pepper if needed. Stir to coat evenly and finish off by sprinkling with feta cheese.
Notes
- Alternatively, bake at 400F for 8-10 minutes
- To make vegan, skip the feta cheese or sub for a sprinkle of nutritional yeast
