Parmesan Roasted Asparagus

Hmmmm, fresh asparagus.....  Sorry to say this is not from my garden, we lost ours (or we can't remember where we planted it :).  I love when friends share!  Roasting fresh vegetables is the only way to go, roasted green beans are to die for!  The trick is to roast them until you are starting to be concerned that you may be burning them.  For sure 25-30 minutes.



Parmesan Roasted Asparagus

1 lb. fresh asparagus, trimmed
3 T. olive oil
1/4 c. grated Parmesan
1 tsp. lemon-pepper seasoning
1/4 tsp. salt

Place asparagus into Zip-loc bag, add the rest of the ingredients.  Shake until well coated.  Heavily spray 15-in. x 10-in. baking pan with non-stick spray.  Bake at 400° for 25-30 minutes, until tender.  Stirring once.

    What do you mean by 'trimmed'? Karen

    Ok, to trim asparagus is very easy. Simply take the end of the asparagus between your thumb and forefinger and bend until it breaks. The asparagus automatically breaks just where the woody part ends and the fresh, juicy asparagus begins. So you don't need to worry about breaking off too much or too little.

    Thanks for asking, hope this helps. I never used to do this, now that I do, I never get that chewy/stringy bite....
