Asparagus Parmesan with olive oil and butter is a delicious and healthy dish that brings out the delicate flavors of asparagus with the richness of Parmesan cheese, olive oil, and butter. This simple yet elegant recipe is perfect for a side dish or a light meal.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the asparagus under cold running water.
- Trim the woody ends of the asparagus by gently bending each stalk until it naturally snaps. This will remove the tough lower part.
- Arrange the asparagus in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the asparagus.
- Sprinkle the dash of salt and dash of black pepper evenly over the asparagus.
- Toss the asparagus gently with your hands or a pair of tongs to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil, salt, and pepper.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast the asparagus for about 12-15 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly crispy on the edges. The exact time will depend on the thickness of the asparagus stalks.
- While the asparagus is roasting, grate the parmesan cheese if not pre-grated.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
- Once the asparagus is done roasting, remove the baking sheet from the oven.
- Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the roasted asparagus.
- Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese generously over the asparagus.
- Optionally, return the asparagus to the oven for an additional 2 minutes to melt the cheese slightly and make it golden and bubbly.
- Transfer the asparagus to a serving platter.
- Serve immediately, while hot, as a side dish accompanying your favorite main course.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, firm asparagus for the best flavor and texture.
- Grate your own Parmesan cheese for a fresher taste and better melting properties.
- Don't overcook the asparagus; it should be tender but still crisp.
- You can adjust the seasoning according to your taste preference.
