Ingredients:
- asparagus (one bunch)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- grated parmesan cheese (about 1 tablespoon)
- salt and pepper (just a sprinkle and also optional)
Preheat oven to 400℉ / 205℃.
Start with some fresh asparagus, use within 2-3 days of buying, (or trim bottom of stalks by an inch and immerse in water vertically in a tall glass or vase and they will stay fresh over a week.)
Wash under cold water and dry with paper towels.
Cut 1-2 inches off the bottom of stalk and discard cut pieces.
Put your asparagus stalks in a quart or gallon size plastic bag.
Add one tablespoon olive oil and roll gently to coat all stalks. (Alternatively, you can toss all ingredients in a large bowl.)
Note: If I have some lemons, I also like to cut in half and squeeze a little juice inside for a nice, fresh flavor.
Remove stalks from bag and arrange lengthwise on a baking sheet.
Sprinkle with a small amount of salt and pepper, then sprinkle with the parmesan cheese.
If I have a lemon, I like to grate a little over top of the asparagus also. It gives the asparagus a fresh, bright flavor.

Love this method! One of my favorites in the cooler months. I buy in one pound bundles and that barely feeds me and my three dogs. We are little piggies when it comes to asparagus! 🐖🐷🐖 Thanks for sharing!
Sounds good, but I still swear by Alton Brown's damp paper towel & microwave trick in a pinch.
