Equipment

  • Baking sheet

Ingredients
  

Asparagus

  • 1 lb asparagus spears trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼-½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

Oven Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Arrange asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet. Brush with olive oil. Roast for 5 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the minced garlic and grated parmesan cheese over the top. Roast the asparagus for about 5 additional minutes or just until tender.
  • Season with kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste.

Notes

Cook the asparagus just until they are tender, which is usually about 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the asparagus. It should be just fork tender. Plan on serving this dish fairly promptly. It is best served warm while it is just a teeny bit crisp. If desired, serve with a fresh lemon wedge for a spritz of fresh lemon juice. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. They can also be reheated in the microwave at reduced power.
