How to:


  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside.
  • Rinse the asparagus and trim off the woody end pieces. Spread out onto prepared baking sheet.
  • Coat the asparagus lightly with coat of olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic, and parmesan cheese. Use your hands to mix the asparagus with all of the ingredients, then lay out into an even layer again.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Remove from oven and serve immediately. Enjoy! ( For a more tender version, blanch your asparagus in unsalted boiling water until bright green - let cool before tossing with olive oil and seasoning )
