Easy Roasted Asparagus with Parmesan Tips:
- 1 bunch is usually 1 pound.
- To trim the asparagus, bend towards the bottom of the stalk, it will naturally break where the more tender part of the spear meets the woody stiff end.
- Make sure to spread them evenly apart on the baking sheet for even baking.
- You can adjust the baking time depending on how crisp or soft you like asparagus.
- If you prefer crispier parmesan cheese you can broil it at the end instead of just placing it in the oven at the same temperature the asparagus was baked at.
How to Store Easy Roasted Asparagus with Parmesan:
Store: Keep the asparagus refrigerated for up to 4 days.
REHEAT: In the oven or a toaster oven at 450 degrees F for 4-5 minutes.
