I'm not a big asparagus lover, but my Mom and Dad love it. This Summer we grew a lot of asparagus and froze them. I've just never been able to see past pairing it with a glob of mayonnaise. And since mayonnaise can be high in calories/fat, I realllly didn't want to do that. So, when my sister found this recipe, I was thrilled. She did all the cooking and picture taking too! I'm happy to say the finished result is rather pleasing and we'll be having it again soon.
Parmesan Roasted Asparagus
Servings: 6
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 lbs asparagus
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- lemon wedge (for serving, optional)
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400F degrees.
- Wash and trim the asparagus stalks.
- Arrange asparagus in a single layers on a cookie sheet and drizzle with olive oil. (I used a brush to sort of baste the oil on. Ended up using less than 2tbs of oil.)
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Roast for 20 minutes or until tender.
- Sprinkle with the Parmesan and return to the oven for about 2 minutes.
- Serve with lemon wedges.
