- 1 small bunch asparagus (about 13 pieces)
- ½ cup shredded fresh Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon coarse sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Rinse asparagus and pat dry.
Cut off the bottom tough end (about 1 inch). Lay the asparagus flat on a baking pan and drizzle with the olive oil and lemon juice. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper and turn to coat evenly.
Roast for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through cooking, until tender. Turn once more, sprinkle evenly with Parmesan cheese, and return to the oven for 1 minute
