Roasted Asparagus

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

2. 2

   Trim the woody ends from the asparagus, usually about 1 1/2 inches.

3. 3

   Lightly peel the remaining stalks (not always necessary, but more of a personal preference).

4. 4

   Spread the spears in a single layer on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with the salt and pepper, and roll to coat thoroughly.

5. 5

   Roast the asparagus until lightly browned and tender, about 8 to 10 minutes, giving the pan a good shake about halfway through to turn the asparagus.

6. 6

   Arrange the roasted asparagus on a serving platter and top with some Parmesan.

7. 7

   Serve warm or at room temperature.
