Ingredients
- 1 ½ lb. fresh asparagus
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Move the top oven rack to be 6” beneath the broiler. This is very important and it needs to be done before you turn on the broiler.
- Preheat the broiler to 550°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Trim the woody ends from the asparagus. Place the asparagus in a bowl. (You can reserve the woody stems to make a stock later or toss them.)
- Toss with the oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Toss until coated.
- Place on the prepared sheet pan in a single layer.
- Broil for 5-6 minutes, until the asparagus begins to turn golden and is fork tender.
- Remove and sprinkle on the cheese. Broil for another 2-3, until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
- Remove from the broiler, and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- How to cut the asparagus: Take one asparagus and bend it until the stem breaks. You’re going to use this as your guide. Line the asparagus up in a row with the ends touching, and trim them all where the asparagus broke.
- How to store: Take leftovers and place them in an airtight food storage container. It will keep for 2-3 days in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave until warm.
