Oven Roasted Asparagus
Description
This Oven Roasted Asparagus recipe involves trimming a bunch of fresh asparagus and coating it evenly with a mixture of extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. The asparagus is arranged in a single layer on a baking sheet and roasted in a preheated 425-degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes, allowing the spears to soften while developing slight caramelization on the exterior. The result is asparagus that retains a tender bite complemented by a subtle garlic aroma and a rich, salty Parmesan crust. This simple preparation highlights the vegetable's natural flavor enhanced by the savory seasoning. It is best served warm immediately after roasting as a bright, easy side dish for lunch or dinner.
Leftover roasted asparagus can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five to seven days. To reheat, it's preferable to warm them briefly in the oven to preserve their texture rather than microwaving, which can soften them too much.
Ingredients
- 1 bunch asparagus (trimmed)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese (grated)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425-degrees. Rinse and trim asparagus. Dry well and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl or shallow dish, combine olive oil, garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Toss well with asparagus until asparagus is lightly coated with mixture.
- Place asparagus in a single layer on a lined baking sheet pan and bake for 8-10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and serve immediately.
Notes
- Store leftover roasted asparagus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to seven days.
- Reheat leftovers in the oven for a few minutes to maintain texture; microwaving will soften them noticeably.
