How to Make Garlic, Parmesan Asparagus

Both fresh and frozen asparagus work well for this recipe.

Asparagus pairs well with garlic and Parmesan. This simple but elegant recipe is a delicious twist on plain asparagus using ingredients you likely already have on hand.

Things You'll Need

• Asparagus
• Minced garlic
• Freshly shredded Parmesan or canned
• Olive oil

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch pan. If you are using fresh asparagus, make sure to wash it and trim the bottoms.

2. Add minced garlic to the asparagus and toss to coat. Cover the pan with foil and put in the oven for about 25 minutes.

3. Remove from the oven, then remove the foil and add the cheese. Add as much or as little as you like. Leave uncovered and put back in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Tips & Warnings

• I have used both fresh and frozen asparagus and they both come out the same way. You don't need to defrost the asparagus first. You can cook it from frozen.
