Parmesan Grilled Asparagus In Foil Recipes

GRILLED ASPARAGUS IN FOIL

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high heat or an oven to 425 degrees F.
• Coat 4 large squares of foil with cooking spray.
• Divide the asparagus stalks evenly among the squares of foil.
• Sprinkle the Italian seasoning, salt and pepper evenly over the asparagus stalks.
• Place 2 teaspoons of butter in each asparagus packet.
• Fold the foil over the asparagus, sealing completely on all sides.
• Grill the asparagus packs for 15 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
• Alternatively, you can bake the asparagus for 15 minutes.
• Open the foil packets carefully, then gently stir to make sure all the asparagus is coated with the butter and seasonings.
• Sprinkle with parsley and serve, with lemon wedges if desired.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Spray the inside of a 9x13 casserole dish with olive oil cooking spray. Place asparagus in the dish and lightly spray spears with cooking spray.
• Sprinkle asparagus with Parmesan cheese, sea salt, and garlic powder.
• Roast in preheated oven until fork easily punctures thickest part of stem, about 12 minutes.

GRILLED LEMON PARMESAN ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill on medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Place asparagus in a large shallow bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, going from bottom to top of stalks. Season with salt and ground black pepper.
• Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over asparagus. Lightly toss to coat each spear.
• Transfer coated asparagus to the preheated grill with tongs.
• Grill to desired tenderness, 3 to 7 minutes. Before serving, sprinkle asparagus with additional Parmesan cheese.

GRILLED CASHEW-ASPARAGUS FOIL PACK

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 18x18-inch sheet of heavy-duty foil. Break off tough ends of asparagus as far down as stalks snap easily. Place asparagus on center of foil. Top with butter, salt and pepper.
• Bring up 2 sides of foil over asparagus so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
• Place packet on grill over low heat. Cover grill; cook 10 to 15 minutes, rotating packet 1/2 turn after 4 minutes, until asparagus is tender.
• To serve, cut large X across top of packet; carefully fold back foil to allow steam to escape. Sprinkle with cashews.

GRILLED PARMESAN ASPARAGUS AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. In large shallow dish, toss asparagus, mushrooms and dressing. Place vegetables in grill basket (grill "wok").
• Cover and grill vegetables over medium heat 8 to 12 minutes, shaking basket or stirring vegetables occasionally, until asparagus is crisp-tender. Sprinkle vegetables with basil and cheese. Cover and grill 3 to 4 minutes longer or until cheese is slightly melted.

FOIL BAKED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180 C (360 F).
• Prepare asparagus by snapping the lower "woody" part of the stem off (if it snaps cleanly you've got the right place; if it is difficult to break try higher up!), and peel the lower section if they're a bit old or thick.
• Tear off a large enough piece of aluminium foil to wrap around the bunch of asparagus securely, and place asparagus in foil.
• Dot with butter and sprinkle lightly with salt.
• Wrap securely, and then wrap an extra strip of foil around the tip end to protect it.
• Bake in oven for 25-35 mins, depending on the thickness and age of the asparagus (Mine were done in 30 and I'd say they were fairly average sized).
• Try to wait until you're ready to serve before you unwrap them, or better still, serve them still wrapped in the foil.

GRILLED ASPARAGUS WITH OLIVE OIL, LEMON & PARMESAN

Steps:

• Heat a large griddle pan, remove the hard ends from the asparagus and dry griddle on both sides until nicely marked (about 5 minutes).
• As soon as they're ready, put them on the plates and dress with a good squeeze of lemon juice and about twice as much olive oil. (The quantities listed in the ingredients above are really rough as you just need to dress this dish to your own taste.).
• Season with salt & pepper to taste and then add freshly shaved or grated parmesan cheese.
