Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 lbs thick asparagus, tough ends trimmed (about 2 bunches, stalks about 1/2 inch thick)
salt
ground black pepper
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1 lemon, cut into wedges

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.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 lb asparagus, fresh
10 clove garlic, minced
3 Tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper
1/4 c parmesan cheese

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 the freshest asparagus you can find: Look for spears that are bright green, firm, and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are wilted, limp, or have yellow or brown spots.
Trim the asparagus properly: Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus spears. You can also use a sharp knife to cut off the ends.
Roast the asparagus at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the asparagus and give it a slightly crispy exterior.
Don't overcrowd the asparagus in the pan: This will prevent the asparagus from cooking evenly.
Season the asparagus generously: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all great options.
Garnish the asparagus with fresh herbs: Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes are all great options.

Conclusion:

Roasted Parmesan and Garlic Asparagus is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to enjoy fresh asparagus and is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
