Roasted asparagus is the best way to enjoy fresh spring asparagus!
With Parmesan, lemon, and cracked black pepper, this is going to be your go-to asparagus recipe.
Asparagus spears Extra virgin olive oil Garlic cloves Grated Parmesan cheese Kosher salt Ground black pepper Lemon juice
Preheat your oven to 425ºF.
1
Toss the asparagus spears with all of the ingredients except the lemon juice in a large bowl or dish.
2
Transfer the asparagus to a sheet pan and roast for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the tips are just beginning to char.
3
Squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the asparagus and toss to coat, then serve.

While asparagus can be steamed and sautéed, I think roasting is definitely the best way to cook asparagus.
It brings out the natural sweetness of the vegetable and makes it nice and crispy on the ends. So good!
