Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Wash the asparagus and trim the tough, woody ends (about 1-2 inches from the bottom). Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Place the asparagus on the baking sheet in a single layer.
Drizzle the asparagus with olive oil, and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Spread the asparagus evenly on the baking sheet again, ensuring that no spears are overlapping. This helps them roast evenly and get crispy.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 12-15 minutes, or until the asparagus spears are tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
Remove the asparagus from the oven and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top while the asparagus is still hot.
If desired, garnish with freshly grated lemon zest for a bright, citrusy flavor.
Serve immediately as a side dish and enjoy!
