Ingredients
– 1 1/2 pounds fresh trimmed asparagus
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
– 3/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
1-First, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet to avoid any sticking mess. Wash and trim the asparagus by cutting off the woody ends, then combine it with the olive oil in a large bag or bowl for even coating. This step ensures every spear gets that golden touch.
2-Next, add the breadcrumbs, shredded parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the mix. Shake or toss until everything clings nicely to the asparagus. Spread it out in a single layer on the baking sheet for even roasting trust me, this makes a big difference in texture.
3-Pop it in the oven and bake for 7 to 10 minutes until the cheese melts and the asparagus turns crisp-tender. For variations, brush the oil on directly if you don’t have a bag, or make it vegan by swapping cheese options. If you’re into green veggies, our green bean recipes offer more ideas to explore.
Notes
🧽 Line the baking sheet with foil to make cleanup faster.
