Tips:

  • Choose the right asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are bright green, firm, and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are limp, woody, or have yellow or brown spots.
  • Trim the asparagus: Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus. You can also peel the asparagus if desired, but this is not necessary.
  • Cook the asparagus properly: Broiling is a great way to cook asparagus because it caramelizes the sugars in the asparagus and gives it a slightly smoky flavor. Cook the asparagus for 5-7 minutes, or until it is tender-crisp.
  • Use high-quality Parmesan cheese: Parmesan cheese is a key ingredient in this recipe, so make sure to use a good-quality cheese. Look for Parmesan cheese that is aged for at least 12 months.
  • Serve the asparagus immediately: Broiled asparagus is best served immediately after it is cooked. You can drizzle it with olive oil, lemon juice, or balsamic vinegar, if desired.

Conclusion:

Broiled asparagus Parmesan is a simple but delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be ready in just a few minutes. The asparagus is tender-crisp and flavorful, and the Parmesan cheese adds a rich, nutty flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
