Roasted Asparagus with Parmesan

from 1 votes


These green stalks of beauty come as a welcome respite from all the flour, potatoes, butter and sugar that has seemed to flood my life in recent weeks. There was Cheesy Garlic Bread, Dutch Baby PancakesDeep-Fried Ravioli, and oh boy, the pièce de résistanceHomemade Barbecue Potato Chips.

Consider it a digital cleanse. Say it with me now, “I will not fry, butter or cheese-ify anything for one entire post.”

Simply give fresh asparagus a toss in olive oil, a sprinkling of salt and pepper and a good old-fashioned, artery-cleansing roast in the oven. And then top them off with Parmesan curls.

Well, I guess two out of three isn’t bad.

  1. I grill a very similar recipe quite often, delicious! Sometimes I’ll sprinkle a bit of dried rosemary on during grilling, adds a bit of rustic flavor and a lovely aroma. Yum!

  2. I love roasted asparagus completely plain with just olive oil, S & P…never thought to add parm cheese. I’m definitely going to next time! :)

  3. I love grilled asparagus with Parmigiano!
    Sometimes I also add a poached or fried egg on the side, to dip the spears in… (we call these “alla milanese”)

  4. I just discovered your blog through Pinterest! And I’ll have to tell you I am hooked!!! Thanks for sharing these awesome recipes!! I can’t wait to see more!!

  5. I adore asparagus too. This is one of my favourite ways to eat it … especially drizzled with some of my beloved balsamic!!!

    1. The addition of balsamic would be perfect … and still keep it on the lighter side. I’ll have to add a splash next time!
