One-Pan Garlic-Parmesan Asparagus

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Crush and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Trim the rough ends from the asparagus spears, and arrange them on the baking sheet.

Drizzle the asparagus with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and the minced garlic.

Roast on middle rack of oven until the asparagus is crisp-tender, 10-12 minutes.

Check to see that asparagus is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the spears. Toss the asparagus with tongs to coat and slightly melt the cheese. Serve immediately.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Dry Your Asparagus Thoroughly 💧
Pat asparagus completely dry with paper towels before tossing in oil to ensure proper browning and prevent steaming, which creates a crispy exterior instead of a soggy one.
Slice Garlic Thinly for Even Cooking 🧄
Thinly slice garlic rather than mincing it so pieces cook evenly and distribute throughout the pan without burning, creating a more refined flavor and texture.
Add Parmesan at the End ✨
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese in the final 1-2 minutes of cooking so it melts slightly and adheres to the asparagus without browning excessively or becoming bitter.
Arrange Asparagus in a Single Layer 📏
Spread asparagus in one even layer with tips pointing the same direction to ensure uniform roasting and prevent crowding, which allows for proper caramelization.
Use Quality Extra-Virgin Olive Oil 🫒
Choose a robust extra-virgin olive oil with a lower smoke point (around 375°F) and add it after roasting slightly, preserving its fruity notes and nutritional benefits that make this dish premium.
