How to Make Roasted Asparagus

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated mozzarella

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Select fresh asparagus, preferably young and thin, checking the bottom for moisture.

Trim about an inch off the tough ends of the asparagus.

Lay the trimmed asparagus on a baking tray.

Drizzle grape seed oil over the asparagus, being liberal with the amount.

Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the asparagus.

Place the baking tray in the oven and roast for about 20 minutes, checking for browning.

Remove the asparagus from the oven when it is crispy on the outside.

Optionally, add a squeeze of lemon juice or fresh herbs before serving.
