Our entire marriage, my hubby always said “I don’t like asparagus”. I never made it with any of our meals because of that. A few weeks ago however, our local produce stand opened up and we of course, had to go get stocked up. *If you have a local produce stand, be sure to shop there for local, fresh produce, I love the selection of ours and how fresh everything is.
While we were there, they had asparagus. Ooooooo it looked WAY too yummy to pass up, so I added it to the basket and said “sorry honey, you’ll have to learn to love it, hehe”. I decided to add some flavor to it, since my hubby and I love garlic and Parmesan. When I made this, I paired it with some grilled salmon for dinner. Lets just say, my hubby now retracts his “I don’t like asparagus” statement and is looking forward to the next time I make some. YEA!!!

Garlic and Parmesan Roasted Asparagus
Ingredients
- 1 bunch asparagus spears, trimmed
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoon Parmesan cheese (I prefer grated, but shredded works too)
- salt/pepper to taste
Instructions
- Line asparagus on bottom of baking pan.
- Pour olive oil evenly on top and toss to coat thoroughly.
- Sprinkle garlic, Parmesan, salt, and pepper evenly on top of coated asparagus.
- Place pan in preheated oven, 425 degrees, and bake for about 15 minutes, or until fork tender.
- Remove from oven and serve! Enjoy!
My five year old helped me put this together!! |

Excellent!!! The asparagus came out perfect – still had that crunch without being limp and soggy. The home smelled like garlic for hours – which is a good thing. This will now be my go to recipe when making asparagus. Thank you
Kristin
Yea!! So glad you enjoyed it!!

This was wonderful! I added a generous sprinkle of fresh lime juice and sprinkles of lemon peel. Add a tiny bit of water to the pyrex dish and covered, baked 20 at 350* and it was great!!! Thank you!
p.s. I have been meaning to tell you. One can barely see the writing here in the fill in comments section! It is so pale and tiny, it is nearly impossible to read/see!!! I happened to have my IT lady here for diner and asked here to look at it. She says you need to have your web maintainer fix this! It’s crazy hard to see!! Once, posted, the comments are fine. It is this fill in box that is aweful! Thanks!
Kristin
Oh yum! Glad to hear you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the website feedback, I went ahead and changed the size and color, so it should look more legible and be more clear now! Thanks for letting me know!

I’ll take a side order of the 5 year old helper!!! Serving this tonight with pork loin, etc. should be yums! Thank you!
Kristin
Haha, I’ll admit, he’s my little cutie!
Hope you enjoyed!!

Try steaming the trimmed asparagus for a minute or two, just to soften slightly. Then dry and cover with Zesty Italian salad dressing and marinate for about 15 minutes. Grill the asparagus in a preheated (very hot) grill pan (or griddle pan if that’s what you have) for a few minutes, rolling occasionally to get good grill marks. Do not over cook…a little crunch is a good touch.
Kristin
Great suggestions! Thanks!

Try it with crumbled bacon sometime too. Super yummy. Or you can use different chillis and peppers with this recipe to give it a spicy flare!
Kristin
Great idea! I will definitely try that the next time I make this! Thanks!

What is Parmesan cheese? I have never used it..
Kristin
It is a type of cheese, you can get the shredded bag, bar of cheese to grate at home, or the green can of already grated cheese.

We love our asparagus cooked like this. We also have this powder called true lemon which I sprinkle on to add a little zing! Most times I end up getting them super crispy and they are almost like fries 🙂
