Roasted Asparagus with Parmesan Cheese
Simple oven roasted asparagus with parmesan cheese and garlic.
Ingredients
- 1 1 lb bunch of fresh asparagus
- 2 tbsp of olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- salt & pepper to taste
- 2-3 tbsp of grated or shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425° F.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut off the root ends of the asparagus and discard them.
- Place the asparagus on the parchment paper and drizzle with 1 to 2 teaspoons olive oil, just enough to lightly coat the asparagus.
- Sprinkle salt, pepper and garlic powder over the asparagus, and roll/toss until the spears are lightly coated in oil.
- Arrange the spears in a single layer on the pan.
- Roast until the asparagus ends are easily pierced with a fork. Thin asparagus may take 5-10 minutes and thicker asparagus may 15-20 minutes.
- Remove from oven and top with sprinkled parmesan or the other toppings listed in the post above.
Notes
I have roasted asparagus drizzled with both olive oil and balsamic vinegar together. It has a zestier taste. Don't be afraid to try different flavors until you find your favorite! Enjoy!
