Oven-Roasted Asparagus

Salty and savory, the roasting method kills the natural bitterness of asparagus. Try it next to grilled fish or lamb.

Ingredients

• 1 bunch thin asparagus spears, trimmed
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 ½ tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (Optional)
• 1 clove garlic, minced (Optional)
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (Optional)

Instructions

1. Place the asparagus into a mixing bowl, and drizzle with the olive oil.
2. Toss to coat the spears, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper. 
3. Arrange the asparagus onto a baking sheet in a single layer.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until just tender, 12 to 15 minutes depending on thickness.
5. Sprinkle with lemon juice just before serving.
