Roasted Asparagus with Parmesan
Report
This easy roasted asparagus is wonderfully tender-crisp. Bake it in a 400°F oven for just 15 minutes. Overcooking will make it stringy.

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with high-heat-resistant parchment paper.
- Place the asparagus on the baking sheet in a single layer. After it's trimmed, you should be able to fit two rows of it into the pan.
- Drizzle the asparagus with the olive oil, then toss with your hands to coat. Sprinkle with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and half the parmesan.
- Bake until the asparagus is tender-crisp, for about 15 minutes.
- Sprinkle the asparagus with the remaining parmesan and serve.
Notes
- I use garlic powder because its fine granules coat the spears uniformly. If you prefer fresh minced garlic, that works too.
- Medium-sized asparagus spears are best. If all you can get are thin or thick spears, adjust the roasting time. Very thin spears will need no more than 10 minutes in the oven. If using thick ones, check them after 15 minutes and see if their thickest parts are fork-tender. If not, keep roasting them for 2-3 more minutes.
- You should always trim asparagus ends, but if using thick spears, it's especially important to trim them, as they tend to be woody and fibrous.
- Dry the asparagus well with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel after washing, so it bakes rather than steams in the oven.
- Keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. I enjoy them cold, antipasti-style, or chop them and add them to a salad. If you'd like to reheat the leftovers, do so in the microwave at 50% power.
