How to Make Roasted Asparagus | The Stay At Home Chef

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated mozzarella

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Check the asparagus for freshness; it should be stiff, not bendy or slimy.

Bend and snap the asparagus to remove the woody ends, or cut them all to the same length.

Lay the asparagus spears in an even layer on a baking sheet.

Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the asparagus spears.

Season with salt and black pepper, using a heavier hand for more flavor.

Roast in a 400°F (204°C) oven for about 10 minutes, adjusting time based on thickness of the asparagus.

Monitor the asparagus while roasting to achieve desired tenderness.
