Roasted Asparagus

SERVES: 4

PREP: 7 Min

COOK TIME: 9 Min

Roasting is one of my favorite ways to cook veggies 'cause the high temperature cooks 'em so quickly and caramelizes 'em for great flavor. You've got a gourmet side dish in less than 10 minutes!

What You'll Need

1 pound fresh asparagus
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon grated lemon rind
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil

What to Do

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Snap off rough ends of asparagus. Arrange asparagus in a single layer in a rimmed baking sheet.
Sprinkle with cheese, lemon rind, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with oil. Bake, uncovered, for 9 minutes or until tender.

This is good; however, with these changes we thought it was delicious: 1/4 c. Parmesan (not 1/2 cup). Lemon Rind of ONE lemon is gracious plenty. Otherwise, the same.
