Roasted Asparagus...mmm!

Not everyone likes asparagus...That's ok. (More for me!) But this is a very delicious, very simple way to make it that even my husband likes, so you know it's got to be pretty good!

For one bunch of asparagus (about one pound), you'll need the following:

A cookie sheet
Aluminum foil
2-3 tablespoons of olive oil  OR melted butter
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (Or, if you're like me..more!)

First off, you want to preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Then, line the cookie sheet with aluminum foil. This makes for REALLY easy cleanup!

Trim the tough, woody ends off of your asparagus..about an inch, or a little under. You can either throw these away, or if you're like me, you stick them in the freezer to use later when you make vegetable stock. :) Now, place the asparagus in a shallow dish or bowl, and add the rest of the ingredients to it, mixing it with your hands (or a spoon, if you don't want to get messy) until it's evenly coated.

Place the asparagus in a single layer on  your cookie sheet, and place in the oven. Roast for 12-14 minutes, or until tender.

Ta-da! Delicious. :)
