1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).
In a large bowl, toss asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes before grilling.
If using a grill pan, cook over medium-high heat in batches.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat briefly in a skillet.
