How To Cook Asparagus In The Oven (Roasted Asparagus)

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 large bunch of fresh asparagus,

  about 1 pound
• 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese,

  freshly grated
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

• 1 Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Snap off (or cut off) and discard the woody
  ends of the asparagus.
• 2 On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the asparagus spears with olive oil, salt, and
  pepper. Next arrange them in a flat, even layer.
• 3 Bake for 7 to 15 minutes (depending on the size of your asparagus – less time
  for thinner spears, more time for thicker spears), until the spears are tender.
• 4 Transfer the roasted asparagus to a serving platter and top with freshly grated
  Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes. Serve with fresh lemon!
