  • Total Time: 17 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pound asparagus, ends trimmed
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 garlic cloves, grated or sliced
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh grated parmesan

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Trim the ends of the asparagus – either snap the woody piece and/or line up all the asparagus and trim about an inch off the ends.
  3. Grate the garlic and/or slice.  
  4. Coat the asparagus and garlic.  Drizzle the olive oil over the asparagus and garlic, then use your hands to gently massage the oil evenly over the asparagus.
  5. RoastEvenly place the asparagus on the metal baking pan.  Make sure the asparagus is not touching – if they’re too close they’ll steam vs roast.  The cook time will depend on the thickness of your asparagus, however, aim to roast for 8-10 minutes.  
  6. Add the lemon juice and parmesan cheese.  Immediately after your asparagus has roasted, spritz the asparagus or drizzle the lemon juice with a spoon.  Sprinkle the parmesan cheese evenly over the asparagus.  
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

*You could add the garlic after the asparagus has roasted, but raw garlic (for me) is a bit harsh and overpowering. I either keep the garlic whole and/or grate in larger pieces to roast while the asparagus is roasting. Better flavor.
