A delicious and easy way to prepare asparagus with a touch of garlic and Parmesan cheese.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
Trim the tough ends off the asparagus and place them in a mixing bowl.
To find the natural break point, bend the asparagus near the base until it snaps.
Drizzle the olive oil over the asparagus and toss to coat evenly.
Ensure all stalks are lightly coated for even roasting.
Add the minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the bowl and toss again.
Mix thoroughly to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Spread the asparagus in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking.
Roast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until tender and slightly crispy.
Check for doneness by piercing with a fork; it should be tender but not mushy.
Sprinkle the roasted asparagus with grated Parmesan cheese and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Serve the roasted asparagus as a side dish and enjoy!
Pair with your favorite main course for a complete meal.
