Parmesan asparagus spears are a simple yet delicious side dish that can elevate any meal. This easy-to-make recipe highlights the natural flavors of asparagus, which are perfectly complemented by olive oil, a touch of salt and black pepper, and a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Rinse the asparagus spears thoroughly under cold water.
- Trim the tough, woody ends of the asparagus. A good way to do this is by gently bending each spear until it naturally snaps; discard the bottom part.
- Arrange the asparagus spears in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the asparagus.
- Sprinkle a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper over the spears, ensuring they are evenly seasoned. Toss the asparagus lightly with your hands or tongs to coat them evenly.
- Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the asparagus.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and the cheese is golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the asparagus cool for a minute. Serve immediately as a delicious side dish to your favorite meal!
Tips:
- Choose fresh asparagus with firm, bright green spears and tightly closed tips for the best results.
- Trim the woody ends of the asparagus before cooking to ensure they are tender.
- For a more even coating, toss the asparagus in olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl before arranging them on the baking sheet.
- To add some extra flavor, consider adding minced garlic or a splash of lemon juice before baking.
- If you prefer a crispier texture, you can broil the asparagus for a couple of minutes at the end of the baking time.
In just a short amount of time, you can prepare Parmesan asparagus spears that are not only healthy but also packed with flavor. With these simple ingredients and handy tips, you'll create a side dish that is sure to impress family and friends at any meal.
