Steps:
- In a 12-inch skillet, over medium, heat the oil.
- Add the garlic and cook until crisp and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Careful not to burn. Burnt garlic tastes bitter. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the garlic to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside. Add the butter to the skillet and set over medium-high. When the butter has melted, add half of the asparagus with the tips pointing in one direction, and the remaining spears pointing in the opposite direction. (This improves browning.) Sprinkle the asparagus with 1/4 teaspoons salt; using tongs, arrange the spears in an even layer. (They won't quite fit into a single layer.) Cover and cook until the spears are bright green and still crisp, about 5 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper, then transfer the asparagus to a serving plate. Sprinkle with the toasted garlic and Parmesan cheese. Serve with lemon wedges.

CRISPY GARLIC PARMESAN ASPARAGUS PILLOWS
We love creative ways to prepare vegetables and these asparagus pillows are really delicious. The asparagus roasted in the phyllo dough is such a treat. Especially with the freshly grated Parmesan for saltiness and garlic powder for extra flavor. These will definitely be a highlight on your table and are a great way to get kiddos...

Steps:
- 1. You want to work as quickly as possible to keep the dough from drying out so you don't need to do the whole moist towel cover up thing.
- 2. Rinse asparagus and dry well.
- 3. Cut the bottom ends off and discard. If you have thick asparagus you can use a potato peeler and peel about 1/2 way up the stalk so it's not fibrous when eating.
- 4. Lay the phyllo dough flat on your workspace, spray completely with butter spray.
- 5. Lay 3 or 4 pieces of asparagus (depending on their size) at the far right of the dough with 1/3 the stalk over the top edge.
- 6. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- 7. Then fold the bottom of the 2 or 3 pieces of dough (I like 2 and my husband likes 3 so it's more bready less vegetable flavor) up over the asparagus like tucking into bed.
- 8. Then, from right to left, roll it all the way to make the bundle.
- 9. Spray outside totally with butter spray and lay on parchment lined baking tray and repeat until you use all the dough and asparagus. It usually works out just about right but towards the middle, I decide if I need to increase the asparagus to dough ratios so I use the whole thing because they heat up nicely the next day too.
- 10. Sprinkle all with garlic powder (not garlic salt cause the cheese and butter make it salty enough).
- 11. Then sprinkle cheese on top of the pastries.
- 12. Bake at 350 until golden brown about 15-20 minutes.

Steps:
- 1. Heat oil and garlic in small saucepan over low heat until garlic is golden. Make sure you don't burn garlic!
- 2. Remove woody ends from asparagus by gently bending until end snaps off.
- 3. Place asparagus on baking pan and coat with oil and garlic. Push asparagus together and season with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
- 4. Roast at 400 degrees for 12 minutes.
Tips:
- Choose thick asparagus spears: Thicker spears will hold up better to roasting and grilling, and they will have a more robust flavor.
- Trim the asparagus spears: Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus spears, about 1 inch from the bottom.
- Toss the asparagus with oil and seasonings: This will help the asparagus to roast or grill evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- Roast or grill the asparagus until tender: The asparagus should be tender when pierced with a fork, but still slightly firm.
- Serve the asparagus immediately: Asparagus is best served hot or warm. It can be drizzled with melted butter, olive oil, or a balsamic glaze.

Parmesan garlic asparagus is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a healthy meal. It is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
