Garlic and Parmesan Roasted Asparagus
Description
Garlic and Parmesan Roasted Asparagus brings together fresh asparagus spears coated with olive oil, garlic, and Parmesan cheese, then oven-roasted at 425 degrees until fork tender. Roasting at this temperature allows the asparagus to soften while gaining slight caramelization and crisped edges. The garlic infuses the vegetables with aromatic flavor, complemented by the sharpness and richness from the Parmesan. Seasoned with salt and pepper, the dish achieves balanced seasoning enhancing the natural sweetness of the asparagus without overpowering it.
The combination creates a side dish suitable for pairing with grilled meats, pasta, or as a light vegetarian option. Its straightforward method requires little prep and delivers a vegetable cooked to tender perfection with a flavorful crust from the cheese and garlic.
Ingredients
- 1 bunch asparagus spears, trimmed
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
