Baked Asparagus with Parmesan
Report
Baked Asparagus with Parmesan combines tender roasted asparagus spears topped with a blend of Brazilian-style sofrito, fresh Parmesan, and crispy breadcrumbs. Roasting at high heat helps soften the asparagus while creating a golden brown, flavorful crust from the topping, accented with simple seasoning of salt and pepper.
Description
The recipe starts with fresh asparagus trimmed and laid evenly on a baking sheet, lightly coated with olive oil to enhance roasting. The topping includes sofrito—a minced garlic-based condiment—that adds a mild aromatic depth, mixed with grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs for crispness. Baking at 425°F caramelizes the topping and softens the asparagus without losing its texture.
This dish showcases a mix of creamy cheese and crunchy breadcrumbs atop tender, slightly crisp asparagus. It can serve as a vegetable side or appetizer paired well with grilled meats or pasta.
