Roasted Asparagus

Here is another great recipe from Your Home Based Mom. I love roasted asparagus, and there are so many different ways to fix this. You can add balsamic vinegar, lemon pepper, or even parmesan cheese like I did.

Ingredients:
Fresh asparagus
olive oil
kosher salt
black pepper
Fresh parmesan cheese, grated

Directions:
-Preheat oven to 400*
-Trim about 1 inch off from the bottom of each piece of asparagus
-Place on a single layer onto a cookie sheet
-Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper
-Cook for 5-10 minutes depending on the thickness of your asparagus. You don't want it to get mushy, just tender
-Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and cook for 1-2 minutes longer, or until cheese melts
