Ingredients
- 1 1/2 - 2 lbs asparagus (use thick spears), tough bottom ends trimmed
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp garlic minced
- salt freshly ground
- black pepper freshly ground
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese finely shredded
- lemon for serving, wedges
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a small bowl, using a spoon stir together garlic and olive oil while pressing garlic against sides of bowl to extract some of the juices to infuse oil with flavor.
- Place asparagus on a rimmed baking sheet in a mound then pour garlic mixture over top and toss and rub spears to evenly coat.
- Spread into a single layer on baking sheet (place a row horizontally and couple rows vertically to fit them all if needed), sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper to taste.
- Roast in preheated oven until tender, about 15 minutes then remove from oven, sprinkle cheese evenly over top and return to oven and roast 1 minute longer, or until cheese has melted.
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges for spritzing.

Notes
- Roasted asparagus is best enjoyed right away, as it doesn't reheat well.
