Oven Roasted Parmesan Asparagus

In this post I’m sharing how to make easy Oven Roasted Parmesan Asparagus

Asparagus is one of our favorite vegetable side dishes. I tend to choose the thicker stalks that hold up well on the grill or when roasted in the oven.

Asparagus is also a great addition to casseroles. The worst thing that you can ever do to asparagus is over cook it. Mushy asparagus is not good eats and for that reason I steer clear of the canned stuff.

Well prepared asparagus is a great side for steak dinners, seafood or roasted pork or chicken.

Asparagus is also packed with beneficial vitamins and is very good for you. It is often referred to as a superfood that we could all enjoy more of in our diets.

Do you have to cook asparagus? I prefer to eat asparagus cooked but you can eat it raw too. The tips of thinner stalks make a great addition to salads.

Are there any negative side effects to eating asparagus? Asparagus is very good for you but there is one side effect to eating it that many notice. Let’s just say that when you go “make water”, you may notice a distinctive odor.

How do you trim asparagus? Use a knife and trim off the bottom “woody” stem area of the stalk. Generally take of about an inch. 

How do I store fresh asparagus? Add a little water to the bottom of a dish or glass and place the cut stem area in the water and refrigerate to make fresh asparagus last longer.
