Roasted Asparagus with Parmesan Cheese

Melissa
Roasting asparagus has to be one of my favourite ways to enjoy this spring vegetable. Fresh asparagus spears are tossed in olive oil, sea salt, and pepper and covered with Parmigiano Reggiano cheese before being baked until golden brown and crisp. Enjoy this fast and simple side dish during the spring when asparagus is in season!
