Ingredients
- 1 bunch of asparagus, ends trimmed off
- 1-2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- Toss asparagus with 1 tablespoon olive oil and salt. Spread it out on a baking sheet and put it in the oven. Bake for 6 minutes.
- Top with parmesan and bake for 3-4 minutes more.
- Transfer to a serving plate and drizzle with balsamic. If you want, also drizzle with a little more extra virgin olive oil.
Notes
- Baking Time: The time is for mid-sized asparagus. If yours is very thin or very thick you will need to reduce or increase the time. For very thin stalks, add the parmesan at the beginning since they will be done in 4-5 minutes. For thick stalks, add another 2 minutes to time, then add the cheese and continue with the recipe.
- Trimming the Stalks: An easy way to trim the asparagus is to simply break off the bottom of each stalk.
