Time 20m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 to 2 pounds asparagus, not too skinny (fat is fine)
2 tablespoons olive oil, or to taste
Lemon juice to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
Freshly shaved Parmesan to taste

Steps:

  • Cut off the woodsy bottoms of the asparagus spears; discard. Cut off the flower ends and set aside.
  • Use a vegetable peeler to remove the dark green outer skin of each spear; you should get three or four ribbons from each one. Set aside. Cut the remaining stalks crosswise into 1/4-inch rounds.
  • Combine ribbons, sliced rounds and tips in a large bowl. Drizzle asparagus with oil, then sprinkle with lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper, then top with Parmesan.
