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.
- 1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 5-6 tbsp red wine vinegar
- Sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
- 1-2 large zucchini, cut into spears
- 1 bunch of asparagus, cleaned and trimmed of ends
- 1-2 tbsp fresh Parmesan, shredded
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.
