Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Oven-Baked Asparagus with Parmesan Crust.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a toasty 450°F (230°C), setting the stage for a deliciously roasted asparagus dish.
Step 2
Next, take a baking sheet and arrange your fresh asparagus spears in a single layer, ensuring they have plenty of room to roast beautifully.
Step 3
Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil over the spears, then give them a gentle toss to coat each one evenly—this is where the magic begins! Now, sprinkle some delightful shaved Parmesan cheese over the top, adding a rich, savory touch, and don’t forget to season with freshly ground black pepper for that perfect kick.
Step 4
Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let the asparagus bake for about 12 to 15 minutes.
Step 5
Keep an eye on them; you want the cheese to melt and the asparagus to become tender yet still have a satisfying crispness.
Step 6
Once they’re ready, take them out and serve them hot on warm plates.
Step 7
For an extra burst of flavor, drizzle a little balsamic vinegar over the top.
Step 8
Enjoy this simple yet elegant dish that’s sure to impress at any meal!.
