Parmesan Roasted Asparagus Recipe by Laura Vitale [Food Challenge: DAY 365]

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor while being lower in calories.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is often cheaper and works well for roasting.

bread crumbs

🥗Healthier: panko breadcrumbs

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Crushed crackers can provide a similar crunchy texture at a lower cost.

Turn on the oven to 220 degrees Celsius.

Prepare the asparagus by laying it in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.

Season the asparagus with salt and pepper.

Drizzle the olive oil over the asparagus and toss everything together.

Once the oven is ready, place the asparagus in the oven to roast for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, push the asparagus close to each other on the baking sheet.

Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top of the asparagus.

Place the asparagus back into the oven for 2 more minutes.
