Ingredients

1 lb asparagus spears trimmed 1 bunch
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic minced
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼-½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Arrange asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet. Brush with olive oil. Roast for 5 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the minced garlic and grated parmesan cheese over the top. Roast the asparagus for about 5 additional minutes or just until tender.
Season with kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste.

Notes

Cook the asparagus just until they are tender, which is usually about 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the asparagus. It should be just fork tender.
Plan on serving this dish fairly promptly. It is best served warm while it is just a teeny bit crisp. If desired, serve with a fresh lemon wedge for a spritz of fresh lemon juice.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. They can also be reheated in the microwave at reduced power.
