How to easily put together your Parmesan Garlic Roasted Asparagus

Set the oven at 400F. Cut the ugly bottom ends off the spears and put the remaining good parts in a strainer. Rinse very thoroughly with cold water. Turn off the water and shake and tilt the strainer to get as much of the water off as possible. Let the asparagus drain and chop up 2 cloves (or more) of garlic.

Put the asparagus and the garlic in a bowl and lightly drizzle with olive oil. Shake half of the Parmesan over the spears. Very lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper. Squeeze a wedge of lemon on it. Toss it and repeat the additions. Toss again. Spread it out on a parchment paper or aluminum foil lined baking sheet.

Roast it for 8-15 minutes or just until it is as soft as YOU want. 8 minutes it is still a little crunchy and 15 minutes it starts to get mushy. Check it often.

Enjoy! It goes well with any meat or seafood. It is also good cut up and tossed with pasta!
