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

Clean and wash the jumbo asparagus and place them on a cutting board.

Bend the asparagus at the base to find where it snaps, indicating the less appetizing woody part to discard.

Line up the asparagus and cut them at the point where they bend to create uniform pieces.

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and arrange the asparagus on the tray.

Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the asparagus and season with kosher salt and black pepper.

Use hands to mix and coat the asparagus with the olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Place the baking sheet in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 to 15 minutes.

After 10 minutes, sprinkle grated parmesan cheese liberally over the asparagus.

Return the baking sheet to the oven under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes to melt the cheese.

Remove from the oven and squirt lime juice over the asparagus before serving.
