In my opinion, the only way to cook asparagus is to grill them. They are tender, but still slightly crisp, and the addition of lemon zest is perfect! And, you can do them right on your grill pan indoors. These Grilled Asparagus are the perfect addition to any spring or summer dinner.

This looks delicious!! I will have to try them this summer. I’m not very imaginative with my cooking so I will be back for more ideas. : )
I’m visiting from the ‘Women with Intention’ link-up.
Cathy, I hope you’ll come back for more inspiration. I cook up easy to prepare, family friendly recipes!
This looks so good! Love that it uses a grill pan as its way too cold for grilling here on the east coast! 🙂
I love asparagus prepared like this – so simple and vibrant. Perfect for spring!
