Baked Asparagus Recipe
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 bundle of asparagus
- Olive oil
- Lemon pepper
Optional:
- Shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
- Cut and place the asparagus on an oiled cookie sheet: Use the tip I provided above to properly cut the asparagus. Then oil a cookie sheet with olive oil, and place the asparagus tops out evenly on the cookie sheet, and drizzle a little bit of olive oil on top of them. Once that's all good crack some lemon pepper on top. If you don’t have lemon pepper then you can use salt and pepper, just make sure to use only a little salt if you are going to put parmesan cheese on your asparagus, as the parmesan already has a lot of salt in it.
- Bake for 10 minutes: Put the asparagus in your heated oven for roughly 10 minutes. This will produce asparagus that is a little al dente, which my family prefers. If you like your asparagus a little bit more cooked, then simply leave it in the oven for an extra 5 minutes.
- (Optional) Add parmesan cheese: One minute before the asparagus is done take it out and sprinkle a little parmesan cheese on top of it. Return it to the oven for another minute, or until the cheese is melted to your liking.
