Grilled Asparagus and Zucchini Spears with Parmesan Cheese
We were grilling some chicken for dinner and I decided to make a quick marinade for some asparagus and zucchini. The marinade was light but full of flavor and so good. I loved the fresh basil and garlic with the bite of the red wine vinegar. My husband did a great job of grilling dinner… the chicken was moist and tender and the vegetables were perfect – still a bit crisp.

How to Make Grilled Asparagus and Zucchini Spears with Parmesan Cheese
Combine all ingredients together and mix thoroughly. Add the vegetables and marinate for at least 30 minutes prior to grilling.
Grill until tender yet still a bit crisp. I served them with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese on top. Enjoy!
Beautiful! love the plate too!
Ah, I’ve yet to perfect grilling vegetables– I tend to overdo it! Yours look lovely! 🙂
Yummy, this is one of my favorite things to eat in the summer. I usually just brush mine with olive oil and salt and pepper. I will have to try out this marinade, sounds good.
Wow, I have just stumbled upon your blog, and I must say, I love it! I’m very excited to come back here and browse your recipes. And your outdoor kitchen for camping – impressive! I’ve also talked with Cheryl a bit through our blogs – I just moved here to Salem, so we’re close!

Oh lordy, this looks great. I like how you sliced the zuccchini, and grilled asparagus is so terrific. The marinade sounds great. I need to used vinegar more often in marinading. Topping the veggies with parmesan … YUM!
It sounds like your marinade would give those veggies a nice zing.
i love grilled veggies!! and the best part of this you topped them with parmesan..i love love this!
That is a nice way to enjoy some asparagus and zucchini. I think that adding a splash of balsamic vinegar would be great as well.
