I've been so bored with my vegetable dishes lately and have been picking people's brains for new ways to cook them (and cook them fresh, rather than canned). And I love asparagus but just haven't been able to get it quite right. My brother shared his way and it was a success. Even Maurina (who hates asparagus) loved it!
All you need is:
Fresh asparagus
Olive oil
Garlic (I use the minced in a jar)
Salt and pepper (coarse pepper is best)
Parmesan Cheese (optional)
Rinse your asparagus. You can chop off the white ends first if you want. Put the asparagus in a bowl or shallow dish and drizzle with olive oil. Then sprinkle with your seasonings, but not yet with the parmesan cheese. Lay some foil out on a cookie sheet and put the asparagus on the sheet. Cook in the oven at 400 for about 20 minutes or until soft. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn. The last 5 minutes or so, you can sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top if desired. You won't have any left over, it's that good.
