Roasted Asparagus

Asparagus is one of my favorite vegetables! This recipe inspiration came from one of my very first recipes on the blog, this parmesan asparagus. I love serving it with our dinners because I throw it in the oven and it takes less than ten minutes to cook. It gets a crisp edge on the outside, and the asparagus is nice and tender on the inside. This asparagus was full of such amazing flavor and I LOVED the lemon parmesan garlic flavor that coated the outside. I could have eaten the entire pan by myself.

Making roasting asparagus couldn’t be easier! I am always looking to find new flavor ideas when I cook my asparagus. Since I love lemon, parmesan cheese, and garlic, I decided to add them all! The combination of the three is absolutely incredible! Try more of my lemon and parmesan inspired recipes like this chicken or these scallops.
