Oven Roasted Asparagus

Ingredients

1 bunch thin asparagus spears, trimmed 

3 tbsp olive oil

1 ½ tbsp Parmesan cheese

1 clove garlic

¼ tsp sea salt

½ tsp ground black pepper

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Method

Preheat oven to 220°C.

Trim the asparagus and remove the hard stalk part. Either use grated parmesan cheese or grate a block. Mince or crush the garlic.

Place asparagus into a mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil and toss well to coat. Sprinkle with garlic and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper and arrange asparagus in a single layer on a baking dish.

Bake in the preheated oven until slightly tender, around 12 to 15 minutes depending on thickness. Sprinkle with lemon juice just before serving.
