Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 lb Asparagus
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil (extra virgin)
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder (minced)
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 4 tbsp Parmesan

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven at 180 C / 380 F
  • Rinse the asparagus under running water to remove any dirt.
  • Using your fingers snap off the bottom wooden part of the stem. The tender stems naturally break off the woody part when you bend with your fingers.
  • Peel only the thick or discolored asparagus stems, so they cook evenly. Tip - I only do this with the thick asparagus if I am cooking them in one piece. This ensures the top and bottom cook evenly. Otherwise, the top/heads become too soft.
  • Place asparagus in a baking tray, sheet pan, or baking dish
  • Sprinkle with oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder
  • Bake for 10 minutes, then grate the parmesan cheese and bake another 5 minutes more.
  • Enjoy!
