Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the asparagus thoroughly and pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Trim the woody ends of the asparagus by snapping them off or cutting approximately 1-2 inches from the bottom.
Place the asparagus on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Drizzle the olive oil over the asparagus and toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the asparagus, ensuring an even distribution.
Spread the asparagus into a single layer to ensure even roasting.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the asparagus.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the Parmesan is melted and slightly golden.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an optional burst of freshness.
