Ingredients

• 1 pound asparagus
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 4 pieces lemon wedges (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Rinse the asparagus under cold water. Trim the woody ends (about 1-2 inches from the bottom) and discard.

Step 3

Place the asparagus on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 4

Drizzle the olive oil over the asparagus and toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the asparagus.

Step 5

Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and lightly browned at the tips.

Step 6

Remove the asparagus from the oven and immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot asparagus so it melts slightly.

Step 7

Transfer the roasted asparagus to a serving platter. Serve warm with optional lemon wedges on the side for drizzling.
