Servings 1 Bunch of Asparagus

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Bunch Asparagus If you love Asparagus as much as we do, you may want to make 2 bunches
  • 1-2 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • Kosher Salt as much or as little as you desire
  • Ground Pepper as much or as little as you desire
  • 2 tsp Garlic, chopped I use the already prepared chopped Garlic in the jar
  • 2-4 Tbsp Grated or shredded Parmesan I use both - Grated for mixing with the Garlic and Shredded for topping before serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Rinse Asparagus in cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Spread the Asparagus onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle or brush (I brush to coat more evenly) the Olive Oil over the Asparagus. Sprinkle with Kosher Salt and Pepper, coating evenly.
  • Bake the Asparagus for about 8-10 minutes on the middle rack.
  • While the Asparagus is baking, mix the Garlic and Grated Parmesan together in a small bowl.
  • Sprinkle the Garlic-Parmesan mixture evenly over the Asparagus. Bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until Parmesan Cheese is melted.
  • Sprinkle more Shredded or Grated Parmesan over the Asparagus and serve with your favorite dish! Yummy 🙂
