You Will Need (5 things)

  • 1 Bundle of Asparagus
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan Cheese
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ¼ tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper

Steps (4 steps, 35 minutes)

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

  2. 2

    Wash asparagus and cut trip last quarter of asparagus stem (often very tough, stringy and bitter). Usually if you take one asparagus in hand and bend it about a quarter of the way from the bottom, it will naturally snap. Use this guideline from this one to simply cut the rest of the asparagus at the same point.

  3. 3

    Arrange the asparagus on the baking pan, drizzle with olive oil and mix to coat evenly. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese.

  4. 4

    Bake at 425 degrees for about 25 minutes until asparagus is soft and cheese is melted.
