Roasted Asparagus with Sea Salt and Parmesan

asparagus spears,

Parmesan cheese

butter, melted

garlic

black pepper

½ teaspoon Diamond Crystal® Coarse Sea Salt

lemon,

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).


Place asparagus pieces in large bowl. Add Parmesan cheese, butter, garlic, black pepper, Diamond Crystal&reg; Coarse Sea Salt, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Toss to coat evenly.


Transfer asparagus to baking dish in a single layer. Bake until asparagus is tender and beginning to brown, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.


The produce guy at the grocery store told me yes, $5.99 a pound for asparagus is pricey, but this is some darned good asparagus – it came all the way from Washington State!  (I’m in Wisconsin).  I bought it, not because I felt it was extraordinary asparagus, but because I had planned it for dinner that night.  As it pertains to this recipe, now get this – I had the second half of the bunch standing in a glass of water in the fridge – for well over a week!  Believe it or not it was as though it had just been picked so it was just fine for our supper tonight.  Anyway, one of the things I liked about this recipe was that it called for the asparagus to be cut into pieces!  Every piece, every nook and cranny, gets a good coating of all the good stuff you’re dousing it with, for one thing.  Also, it is a heckuva lot easier to eat!  No messing with cutting it with a knife and fork!  And it sure looked awfully pretty piled onto the plate.   Now whether it was the $5.99 a pound expensive asparagus direct from Washington State, this recipe, or a combination of both, this was some GOOD asparagus!  Cooked just right, by the way, at 12 minutes.  Happy to be the first reviewer and rate this an enthusiastic two thumbs up.

Doubled the recipe for a church dinner - brought home nothing except an empty dish and a request for the recipe. Great recipe :)

Very good. I used asparagus fresh from the farm in my neighborhood.  Very flavorful. I will make again

Made for Easter dinner and it was a big hit. Even the grandkids loved it. Will definitely make again

Easy and very good! My only change was to juice 1/2 a lemon (used zest of whole lemon) as that was enough lemon for my taste. The family loved it!

I made it with Swiss cheese since that is what I had on hand and it was delicious!

I thought these were very good. I also liked that they were already cut up. I didn't add the lemon zest and I used half the amount of parmesan. The cheese seemed to mostly get stuck on the bottom of the pan. Next time I will roast first and then add the cheese.
