Parmesan Garlic Roasted Asparagus
An easy and very tasty Asparagus recipe
Ingredients
- 1 bunch fresh Asparagus about 3/4 lbs.
- olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 fresh lemon
Instructions
- Set the oven at 400F. Cut the ugly bottom ends off the spears and put the good stuff 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 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.
- Bake it for 8-15 minutes or just until it is as soft as YOU want. 8 is crunchy and 15 starts to get mushy. Check it often.
- Serve it with the meat or fish dish du jour and enjoy a nice veggie side. It also is real good tossed with pasta!
