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.
