Another easy, dish-free, veggie side 'Pouch' often used at our house. The Lemon Zest adds a great finish - Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 2 bunch
- fresh asperagus
- 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
How to Make BBQ Asparagus with Parmesan and Lemon Zest
- 1Wash asparagus and snap off the bottom of the stalks
- 2Place 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
- 3drizzle olive oil over asparagus and toss to coat
- 4sprinkle with Parmesan, lemon zest (or juice), pepper, and salt, toss to coat
- 5Bring the top and bottom edges of the foil together and fold over several times, leaving some air space between vegetables and foil.
- 6Repeat with each side of your foil package until a sealed pouch is formed
- 7Cook 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
- 8When 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.
- 9Open foil pouch and serve. Watch out for the steam when you first tear the foil - especially if the pouch is puffed up!
Enjoy!
