- ½ cup parmesan cheese freshly shredded
- ½ teaspoons sea salt or more to taste
- ¼ lemon for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425℉.
- Trim the asparagus and then add to the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, minced garlic and sea salt. Rub all over the asparagus to ensure they are well coated.
- Roast in the oven for 5 minutes. Halfway into cooking, toss the asparagus and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.

Notes
- Cooking time will vary based on how thick your asparagus spears are.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan—leave space between the spears so they roast evenly.
- Skip the pre-grated parmesan. Use a block of real parmesan and grate it yourself.
- Use a cheese grater for larger shreds—they melt better and crisp up beautifully.
