Holly’s Parmesan Asparagus Highlights
- Flavor: Roasted asparagus with parmesan is both sweet and savory.
- Skill Level: This recipe is so easy! Prep, toss, and roast or grill.
- Prep note: Keep prepped spears chilled until ready to season and bake!
- Swaps: Try crumbled feta, gorgonzola, or cotija cheese instead of parmesan.
Simple Ingredients
Asparagus: Choose fresh and firm spears with pink or purplish tips and snap off the woody ends where they naturally bend. Look for spears equal in width and length for uniform baking.
Seasonings: Minced garlic, salt and pepper, and parmesan are all it takes to make asparagus shine as a holiday or everyday side dish.
Variations
- Add sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, or red onions to the mix. Garnish with bacon bits, sliced almonds, or a few slices of lemon for a more elegant recipe.
- Anything goes with the sweet and earthy flavor of asparagus. Bacon grease can be used instead of oil for a smoky flavor or chili oil for a spicy kick. DIY blends like a Cajun seasoning zesty or a light lemon pepper seasoning.
How to Make Parmesan Asparagus
- Combine prepped asparagus with oil and seasonings.
- Bake in a single layer until tender-crisp (full recipe below).
- Top with parmesan cheese and broil until the cheese is melted.
Storing Leftovers
Keep leftover parmesan asparagus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freezing cooked asparagus isn’t recommended.
Add leftovers to a creamy asparagus soup, or to a Denver omelet, or reheat them for about 30 seconds in the microwave and then pop them under the broiler with a fresh sprinkle of parmesan cheese to make them crispy again.
