It’s another week, and another ingredient in the Blogger ingredient challenge. After the Goody Brownie Bars last week, it’s a good thing that this weeks ingredient is asparagus.
Asparagus is one of my favorite vegetables. I don’t remember when I first tried it, but I remember liking it a lot growing up. I will tell you this, please don’t buy canned asparagus. Yuck! Fresh is the way to go.
Today I am sharing one of my favorite ways to eat asparagus. It is oven roasted asparagus with Parmesan cheese.
Oven Roasted Parmesan Asparagus
Ingredients:
- 1 lb asparagus
- Olive Oil
- Pepper
- shaved or grated Parmesan cheese
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 450° F.
- Prepare your asparagus by washing and snapping the rough ends off. The asparagus will naturally snap at the right spot. These ensures you will have nice tender asparagus.
- Lightly drizzle olive oil over the asparagus and toss to coat.
- Sprinkle with pepper and Parmesan cheese.
- Heat in the oven 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the asparagus is tender, but still crisp.
- Serve immediately.
I served this with grilled chicken and some pretzel dinner rolls. The whole dinner was so tasty. I hope you check out what some of the other bloggers made with asparagus this week! Oh and May is National Asparagus month, so why not head out to the grocery store and pick up some asparagus to celebrate?
Looks like it turned out really well!
Simple asparagus recipes are the best – these look great!
Oh I love parmesan! That looks so good!
My husband would love this. I’ll have to try it the next time I cook it for him
