Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 250 g large asparagus
  • 2 TB olive oil
  • 2 TB balsamic vinegar
  • 2 TB Parmesan cheese (finely grated)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan oven). This is 220°C for conventional ovens (or 425°F / gas mark 7).
  • Snap off the hard, woody ends of each asparagus
  • Use a vegetable peeler to shave off and discard the bottom half of the asparagus peel.
  • Your trimmed weight of the asparagus will be approximately 160g /5.8oz (and this is the weight the macros were calculated.)
  • Spread the asparagus out on a baking sheet. Drizzle over the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Scatter over half the finely grated Parmesan.
  • Place in the oven for 10-12 minutes, removing the tray halfway through to baste the asparagus with the oil and vinegar, using a silicon pastry brush.
  • Serve immediately, with the remaining Parmesan grated over.
