Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cheesy Baked Asparagus with Onion Topping.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give a large baking sheet a light spritz of cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Next, take your fresh asparagus and trim off the tough white ends, making sure each stalk is roughly the same length for even cooking.
Step 3
Lay the asparagus out on the prepared baking sheet, allowing them to touch just a bit—this helps them roast beautifully together.
Step 4
Now, drizzle a generous amount of olive oil over the asparagus, and give your onion soup mix packet a good shake to mix up any settled spices.
Step 5
Sprinkle this flavorful blend evenly over the asparagus, ensuring every piece gets a taste of that savory goodness.
Step 6
Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let the asparagus bake for about 25 to 35 minutes, or until they’re tender and have developed a lovely golden-brown hue.
Step 7
Once they’re looking delicious, carefully pull the baking sheet out and sprinkle a handful of shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
Step 8
Pop it back in the oven for another 5 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and starting to bubble with a hint of browning.
Step 9
The aroma will be irresistible, and your asparagus will be ready to impress! Enjoy this delightful dish as a side or a light snack.
