Oven-Baked Asparagus with Parmesan

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch of asparagus
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Parmesan cheese (approx. 40–50 g), grated
  • Salt
  • Black pepper

Instructions

  • Trim or peel the tough outer layer of the asparagus using a vegetable peeler to ensure a tender texture. Very fresh asparagus may not require peeling.
  • Toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Arrange in a baking dish and sprinkle generously with grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) until the top is golden and lightly crisp.

Note

This dish can be served as a flavorful side with meat, fish, or chicken.
