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!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Dry Your Asparagus Thoroughly 💧
Pat asparagus completely dry with paper towels before tossing with oil; moisture prevents proper crisping and causes the parmesan to steam rather than toast.
Arrange in Single Layer 📍
Place asparagus spears in a single layer without overlapping on your baking sheet to ensure even roasting and maximum contact with the heat for optimal crispiness.
Toast Parmesan at the End ⏱️
Add the parmesan cheese in the final 2-3 minutes of baking rather than at the beginning to prevent it from burning and to achieve a golden, melted finish.
Choose Fresh, Thin Spears 🌱
Select thin to medium asparagus spears (thinner than a pencil) as they cook faster and more evenly than thick stalks, achieving tenderness in exactly 12-15 minutes.
Preheat Your Baking Sheet 🔥
Place your baking sheet in the oven while preheating, then carefully arrange asparagus on the hot surface to immediately sear the undersides for enhanced caramelization.
