CAROLYNN’S PANTRY

Parmesan Roasted Asparagus

1 pound asparagus, trimmed, cut into thirds

1 tablespoon (1/2 ounce) grated 

                 Parmesan cheese

2 teaspoons olive oil, 

                 preferably extra virgin

Pinch of salt

Ground black pepper

4 lemon wedges or white wine vinegar

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a baking pan large enough to hold the asparagus in a single layer, combine the asparagus, cheese, oil, and salt. Toss to coat the asparagus evenly.

2. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender (time will vary depending upon the thickness of the asparagus). Season to taste with pepper. Serve with lemon wedges or a splash of vinegar.
