Description
A delightful vegetable dish that features crisp-tender asparagus enhanced by savory Parmesan cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh asparagus
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- The juice of 1 lemon (about 1 tablespoon)
- Red pepper flakes (optional for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Rinse the asparagus under cool water and dry with paper towels. Trim the woody ends by cutting off about an inch from the bottoms.
- Spread the asparagus in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper. Toss to coat. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese evenly over the asparagus.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for about 10 minutes until fork-tender and slightly crispy.
- Once done, take it out and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes before serving. Enjoy!
