Ingredients

1 pound fresh asparagus, ends trimmed

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  • Arrange the trimmed asparagus on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer.

  • Drizzle the olive oil over the asparagus, ensuring each spear is lightly coated.

  • Sprinkle the garlic powder, black pepper, and sea salt evenly over the asparagus.

  • Roast in the preheated oven for 10–15 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and slightly browned.

  • Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot asparagus.

  • Serve warm as a delightful side dish to your favorite main course.

Notes

  • Variations: For added flavor, try garlic Parmesan by adding minced fresh garlic, or enhance brightness with lemon zest.

  • Storage/Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes.

  • Tips: Fresh asparagus yields the best texture and flavor. Avoid overcrowding the asparagus on the baking sheet to prevent sogginess.
