High heat roasting concentrates the asparagus's natural sweetness while the edges turn lightly browned and crisp. Garlic and shaved Parmesan melt into the spears during the final minutes, creating a savory crust. This simple side pairs well with roasted meats, pasta, or a weeknight dinner that needs a quick vegetable.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound asparagus, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Arrange the trimmed asparagus in a single layer on the baking sheet.

  3. Drizzle the olive oil over the asparagus, then sprinkle with minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

  4. Roast in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.

  5. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the asparagus, and return to the oven.

  6. Continue roasting until the asparagus is tender-crisp and the cheese is melted and lightly golden, about 5 minutes.

  7. Remove from the oven, drizzle with lemon juice, and serve immediately.
