Step 1

Snap the ends off of the asparagus and discard them, then place the asparagus onto a plate. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper and use your hands to make sure they're completely coated.

Step 2

Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the asparagus in a single layer and place a lid on the skillet. Cook asparagus for 2 minutes, then remove the lid, add the lemon juice, place the lid back on and continue cooking for 1-5 minutes, tossing with kitchen tongs every minute or so or until they can easily be pierced with a fork.

Step 3

Transfer asparagus to a plate and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and enjoy!
