Print Recipe

A quick and easy roasted asparagus side dish with crispy edges, garlicky flavor, and a cheesy parmesan finish. Perfectly roasted at high heat for a tender yet crunchy texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat if using.
  2. Wash and trim the tough ends off the asparagus stalks by snapping or cutting about 1-2 inches from the bottom.
  3. Place the trimmed asparagus in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and add minced garlic. Toss well to coat evenly.
  4. Sprinkle salt and freshly cracked black pepper over the asparagus, tossing lightly. Add red pepper flakes if desired.
  5. Spread the asparagus in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding.
  6. Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes. Halfway through (around 7 minutes), flip the asparagus gently with tongs or a spatula.
  7. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle freshly grated parmesan over the hot asparagus.
  8. Optionally, drizzle a little more olive oil or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving. Serve warm.

Notes

Use fresh minced garlic to avoid burning and get the best flavor. Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure asparagus crisps properly. Watch closely after flipping to avoid burning. For dairy-free, substitute parmesan with nutritional yeast. Reheat leftovers gently in the oven to maintain crispness.
