Ingredients

  • 1 pound (454 g) fresh asparagus trimmed

  • 1/4 cup (25 g) shaved Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 pint cherry tomatoes cut in half
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon (2 g) basil chopped
  • lemon zest and parmesan for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F(220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add the trimmed asparagus to the baking sheet. Drizzle half the olive oil over the top as well as salt and pepper to taste. Toss to coat.
  • Add the halved cherry tomatoes, garlic, and the rest of the olive oil to a bowl. Mix well.
  • Sprinkle the shaved Parmesan cheese over the asparagus and and top with the tomato mixture. Cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and the cheese is melted.
  • Top the asparagus with more Parmesan cheese, the basil, and some lemon zest.

Equipment Needed

Notes

  • Try to find thicker asparagus instead of the pencil thin ones. They have more texture.
  • To cut the woody ends off the asparagus use your knife and make a cut at the end. If the knife sinks in easy then you’re past the woody part. You can also bend them and snap the end off.
