Roasted Asparagus with Parmesan

Preheat the oven at 180 C / 380 F

Rinse the asparagus under running water to remove any dirt.

Using your fingers snap off the bottom wooden part of the stem. The tender stems naturally break off the woody part when you bend with your fingers.

Peel only the thick or discolored asparagus stems, so they cook evenly. Tip - I only do this with the thick asparagus if I am cooking them in one piece. This ensures the top and bottom cook evenly. Otherwise, the top/heads become too soft.

Place asparagus in a baking tray, sheet pan, or baking dish

Sprinkle with oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder

Bake for 10 minutes, then grate the parmesan cheese and bake another 5 minutes more.

Enjoy!
