1
Heat oven to 425u00b0F with a baking sheet in the hottest section of the oven. In a large bowl, toss asparagus with 1 tablespoon oil, 11/2 teaspoons salt, black pepper, and chile flakes.
2
When the oven (and pan) are hot, add the asparagus in a single layer (it should sizzle) and roast for 7 to 10 minutes depending on the thickness of your asparagus, until browning and crisp-tender.
3
Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine the panko, nuts, grated garlic, remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Spread onto a small baking sheet and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring twice, until panko is golden brown. Set aside while you finish the asparagus.
4
When the asparagus is finished turn on the broiler. Sprinkle the cheese all over the asparagus and broil for 1 to 2 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbling. Top asparagus with panko mixture, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Eat promptly!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
