There’s something magical that happens to vegetables when they get roasted at a high temperature for a short time, in the oven. It enhances their flavor and texture tremendously. Add a a bit of fresh lemon, salt and pepper and parmesan cheese to roasted asparagus and you have one tasty side dish, everyone. So fresh! So wonderful.
Also, they are ready to serve in 10 minutes. 🙂 That’s something to be happy about, right there.
Hope some of you get a chance to try it !

  3. Roasting really is the best way for most things! We make this recipe a lot except I usually sprinkle some feta cheese on top instead of the parm. Very yummy.

  4. I had never tried asparagus until about a year ago. My aunt had steamed some and it was really good. But this is the way I always make it. Delicious, quick and easy. And I bought some this week for 88cents a pound!

  6. I have asparagus in my fridge, I'll make them tonight. Is it a good idea to steam cook them a few minutes first? Ciao Sabrina

  7. I have yet to find a way that I don’t like asparagus. But roasted is one of my favorite. Creamed like peas is also wonderful…. saute in butter, oh my.
