Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh asparagus
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 garlic clove minced (or ¼ teaspoon garlic powder)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 2-3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Trim 1 pound fresh asparagus. Drizzle 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil over the asparagus, and toss to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle 1 garlic clove, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper over the asparagus, and toss.
- Spread the asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes
- Sprinkle the asparagus with 2-3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese. Serve warm.
Notes
- You can snap or cut the woody, fibrous ends off the asparagus. I've tested both ways countless times, and while snapping is satisfying, it wastes a surprising amount of edible asparagus.
- When in doubt, err on the side of undercooking your asparagus. I promise you'll enjoy it more if it is a little crunchy than if it is total mush!
