- 1 large bunch of fresh asparagus, about 1 pound
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Snap off (or cut off) and discard the woody ends of the asparagus.
On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the asparagus spears with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Next arrange them in a flat, even layer.
Bake for 7 to 15 minutes (depending on the size of your asparagus - less time for thinner spears, more time for thicker spears), until the spears are tender.
Transfer the roasted asparagus to a serving platter and top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes. Serve with fresh lemon!
