This Parmesan roasted asparagus recipe makes one fantastic side dish for entertaining! Both ridiculously tasty and deceptively simple, this four-ingredient dish will have you coming back for seconds. Roasting the asparagus in olive oil and garlic results in crisp-tender stalks with just the right amount of smoky char. A dusting of salty grated Parmesan cheese finishes the dish. Serve with lemon wedges if you want a little acidity. It's the perfect springtime vegetable side served with roasted salmon at dinnertime, or poached eggs and toast for brunch.

Ingredients

1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place trimmed asparagus in a rimmed baking tray; rub with olive oil and garlic, sprinkle Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and pepper.
Roast in preheated oven until tender, about 20 minutes.

Mealthy tip:

Look for asparagus stalks that aren't too thick, and be sure to snap or cut off the woody ends before roasting. Make a double batch and use the leftovers in a grain salad, or on top of a pizza or flatbread. They're a deliciously crunchy addition to many dishes!

Aja A says:

Nice and simple asparagus side I served with my sous vide beef filet. It accompanied the asparagus nicely.

Greg Jones says:

I love asparagus, so I am probably biased when it comes to this recipe. However, I will say that roasting with Parm really takes it up a couple notches. If you haven't tried this recipe, you need to!

Chaz Norwood says:

Made this roasted asparagus with a fried egg and hollandaise sauce. One of my favorite spring dishes.
