Ingredients
- one bunch asparagus trimmed
- ½ of one medium red onion sliced vertically into thin strips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 ½ cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with foil for easier cleanup.
- Add the asparagus and onions to the baking sheet, evenly drizzle with olive oil, evenly sprinkle with salt and pepper, and use your hands to toss to coat evenly.
- Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until asparagus is crisp-tender.
- Remove baking sheet from the oven, evenly sprinkle the cheese over middle section of the asparagus, and return the baking sheet to the oven for about 5 minutes, or until cheese has melted.
- Alternatively, place the baking sheet under the broiler on high for about 3 to 4 minutes if you prefer your cheese to be more golden browned rather than simply just melted. If you’re using the broiler, keep a very close eye on things since food can burn very quickly under the broiler.
- Recipe is best warm and fresh.
