Garlic and Parmesan Roasted Asparagus

by 64 Comments

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!!!

    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 🙂

    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.

    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!
