½tspcoarse saltor your preferred seasoning
¼tspground pepper
¼tspgarlic powderoptional
3tbspParmesan cheesefinely grated
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400° F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Rinse asparagus; snap off woody ends and dry well. For neat ends, trim with knife.
Place asparagus in center of prepared baking sheet and drizzle with 1-2 T olive oil. Sprinkle salt, pepper and optional garlic powder onto spears. Toss until coated. Arrange the asparagus spears in a single layer.
Roast in oven for 5 minutes. Flip spears. Sprinkle on Parmesan cheese and return to oven, roasting an additional 4-5 minutes, or until desired doneness. Roasting time is dependent on thickness of spears and individual preference of tenderness.
Remove from oven. Place in serving dish and if desired, squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over the top.
Notes
Roasted asparagus is best when served right out of the oven. Leftovers can be stored in refrigerator for 3-4 days and reheated in 400 degree oven until hot. We do not recommend freezing. One serving approximately 3 oz; 3 thick spears, or 4-5 thin spears.
