Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Trim the Asparagus

    Rinse the asparagus under cold water and trim off the woody ends, usually about 1-2 inches from the base.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Season the Asparagus

    In a large bowl, combine the trimmed asparagus with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the asparagus evenly.

  2. 4

    Roast the Asparagus

    Spread the seasoned asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until tender and slightly crispy.

  3. 5

    Add Lemon Juice and Cheese

    Remove the roasted asparagus from the oven and drizzle with lemon juice. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top while still hot, allowing it to melt slightly.
