Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.

On a baking tray, line up your asparagus. Pour the oil/ butter over top and sprinkle on the garlic powder, salt and pepper. Toss to coat and rearrange the asparagus so it is in a single layer.

Bake for 10 minutes.

Remove from the oven and sprinkle on the parmesan cheese. Bake an additional 5 minutes or until tender.

Let cool slightly and ENJOY!

Notes

To make vegan, I suggest trying out Violife’s vegan parmesan cheese. It’s so good and a great substitute!

Storage Instructions – Store leftover baked asparagus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven, skillet, or air fryer.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Dry Your Asparagus Thoroughly 💧
Pat asparagus completely dry with paper towels before tossing with oil; excess moisture prevents proper browning and creates steam instead of that coveted crispy texture.
Arrange Spears in Single Layer 📐
Place asparagus in a single layer with tips pointing the same direction on your baking sheet; this ensures even roasting and prevents overcrowding, which traps steam and softens the vegetables.
Toast Parmesan Separately ✨
Add half your parmesan at the start of roasting and the remaining half in the last 2-3 minutes; this prevents over-browning while creating layers of nutty, caramelized cheese flavor.
Use Fresh Garlic Powder Strategically 🧄
Mix garlic powder with the oil before coating asparagus rather than sprinkling it dry; this distributes flavor evenly and prevents burnt powder bits that can taste bitter.
Check Doneness by Spear Thickness 🎯
Thicker asparagus spears (½-inch diameter) need 12-15 minutes while thin ones need only 8-10 minutes; bend a spear gently—it should snap cleanly when properly roasted with tender-crisp texture.
