    easy roasted asparagus with parmesan

    A Simple Seasoning

    Asparagus is a tasty vegetable. For that reason, I only use a simple seasoning mix that is made of lemon zest, parmesan cheese, kosher salt, and black pepper to highlight the taste of the asparagus.

    How to Prepare Asparagus

    The pale ends of each stalk are tough and woody. It's important to trim the ends before cooking.

    There are three methods for trimming asparagus:

    1. Bend the end of each stalk with your thumbs and forefingers until it naturally breaks.
    2. Line up all of the spears in a row, then slice off the ends all at once with a sharp knife. 
    3. Peel the woody outer surface with a vegetable peeler

    The Cooking Process:

    Step 1. Season

    Place the trimmed asparagus on a baking sheet. Add kosher salt, black pepper, and oil. Toss to coat.

    Step 2. Roast

    Preheat the oven to 450°F. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, depending on the thickness.

    Step 3. Add lemon zest and parmesan cheese

    Transfer the cooked asparagus into a platter. Sprinkle the lemon zest and parmesan cheese over asparagus. Toss to coat.

    How to Cook Asparagus

    How to store the leftover
