Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Arrange 1 pound trimmed asparagus spears on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  2. Step 2: Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil over the asparagus and sprinkle with 3 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Toss gently with your hands to coat evenly.
  3. Step 3: Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes, turning once halfway through, until asparagus is tender and edges begin to brown.
  4. Step 4: Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese over the hot asparagus. Serve warm as a flavorful vegetable side for any Father’s Day meal.
