This Parmesan Roasted Asparagus recipe offers a quick and easy way to prepare tender-crisp asparagus spears coated with olive oil, garlic, and a golden Parmesan crust. Roasting at high heat enhances the flavors while keeping the asparagus crispy. A final sprinkle of fresh lemon zest adds a bright, refreshing touch, making it a perfect no-fuss side dish for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Asparagus

  • 1 pound asparagus, trimmed

Seasonings

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: zest of ½ lemon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven. Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for roasting.
  2. Prepare the asparagus. In a mixing bowl, toss the trimmed asparagus with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until each spear is evenly coated.
  3. Arrange and top with Parmesan. Spread the asparagus out in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
  4. Roast the asparagus. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and the Parmesan is lightly browned and crispy.
  5. Add lemon zest and serve. Just before serving, sprinkle the asparagus with the zest of half a lemon to add a fresh, citrusy brightness to the dish.

Notes

  • You can prepare the asparagus a day ahead and store it in the refrigerator before roasting.
  • Cooked asparagus keeps well in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • To reheat, use a 350°F (175°C) oven to maintain crispness; avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
  • Trim asparagus by snapping off the tough ends where they naturally break.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and crust texture.
