Some of the best vegetables are also the easiest to make. I feel like many recipe developers overcomplicate dishes just to make them seem fancy, when that’s not necessary at all. A perfect example of this is asparagus. It’s so simple and quick to make that it doesn’t need anything complicated. This Parmesan roasted asparagus is proof—it’s delicious and cooks in under 15 minutes.
Key Ingredients & Substitutions:
- Asparagus – I personally like to get medium to thick asparagus. The skinny asparagus cooks too quickly and will burn easily.
- Parmesan – Freshly grated parmesan is the best here. You can also use any hard cheese of choice.
- Olive Oil – Any cooking fat will work here!
- Lemon Juice – Freshly squeezed lemon is the perfect way to finish this dish! Don’t omit.
