Ingredients
Scale
Asparagus
- 1 1/2 pounds fresh asparagus, trimmed
Seasoning and Coating
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 3/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking sheet with non-stick spray to prevent the asparagus from sticking during roasting.
- Prepare the Asparagus: Place the trimmed asparagus in a large zip-close bag. Add the olive oil and shake the bag well to coat the asparagus evenly with the oil.
- Add Seasonings: Add the breadcrumbs, shredded parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bag. Seal the bag and shake thoroughly to ensure the asparagus spears are evenly coated with the mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated asparagus in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet to allow for even cooking and crisping.
- Roast the Asparagus: Bake in the preheated oven for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the parmesan cheese melts and the asparagus is tender yet still slightly crisp. Remove from the oven and serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- For crispier asparagus, spread the spears out evenly without overcrowding the pan.
- Use fresh parmesan cheese for the best melting effect and flavor.
- You can substitute gluten-free breadcrumbs if needed.
- Adjust garlic powder and salt to taste based on dietary preferences.
- Serve as a side dish to grilled meats, pasta, or enjoy on its own.
