HOW TO ROAST ASPARAGUS

Snap off the woody dry ends of the asparagus. A quicker way when cooking a large bunch like this, is to snap the end off one stem first, then line them all up on your chopping board and slice through the rest at the same length.
Drizzle with a delicious olive oil/garlic mixture.
Roast asparagus for only 10 minutes first to avoid over cooking them. Just make sure your oven is preheated!
Top with mozzarella cheese and broil (or grill)! You could use whatever cheese you have on hand here, preferably a nice mild melting cheese.

Your roasted asparagus will be done in less than 15 minutes!

Ingredients

450 g asparagus spears woody ends removed

60 ml olive oil

10 g garlic minced, or 4 cloves garlic, minced

5 g Kosher salt

140 g mozzarella cheese

1 g cracked pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with nonstick cooking oil spray.

Step 2

Arrange asparagus on baking sheet. Set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl mix together olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Drizzle the oil mixture over the asparagus and toss to evenly coat.

Step 4

Bake for 10-15 minutes until vibrant and just beginning to get tender.

Remove from oven and top with the mozzarella cheese. Return to oven and broil (or grill) until the cheese melts and becomes golden (about 4-5 minutes).

Step 6

Adjust salt and pepper, if needed. Serve immediately.
