Why You’ll Love This Recipe!

1. Quick & Easy: This dish literally takes minutes to put together and cook. All you need is 10-15 minutes (depending on the size of your asparagus.
2. A Family Favorite: This is one green vegetable that everyone in my family loves. The grandkids especially love picking it up with their fingers and eating it! It’s a must at our Easter dinner.

Ingredients Needed

• Asparagus. I prefer my asparagus thin. It cooks faster, is more tender and less woody.
• Olive oil
• Salt. I prefer a coarse or flaky sea salt.
• Black Pepper. I like a coarse freshly ground pepper.
• Parmesan Cheese. Freshly grated is best.

How to Make Roasted Parmesan Asparagus

• Trim your asparagus spears.  I cut off the bottom inch or so to get rid of the white, woody part of the asparagus or you can also snap off the end.
• Place asparagus in a single layer on a sheet pan.
• Drizzle with olive oil and toss or roll asparagus to coat lightly with oil.

• Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Cook in a 400 degree F oven.  The cooking time will vary a bit depending on how thick your asparagus is.  Thinner asparagus will only take about five minutes. You want it to be fork tender, not too soft.
• Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and return to oven for a minute or so to melt the cheese.
