Prepping the Asparagus

1. Wash and Trim: Rinse the asparagus under cold water and trim off the tough ends.
2. Season: Place the asparagus in a mixing bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat evenly.

Grilling the Asparagus

1. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill pan over medium-high heat.
2. Grill: Place the asparagus on the grill pan in a single layer. Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side or until tender and charred to your liking.
3. Garnish: Once grilled, transfer the asparagus to a serving plate, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top, and sprinkle with lemon zest and grated Parmesan cheese, if using.
