Lemon Parmesan Baked Asparagus

📝 Ingredients

• 1 lb asparagus spears (woody ends cut off)
• Lemon olive oil
• Salt and pepper
• 1 lemon
• 1/4- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (green container)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat oven to 400° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 2Cut off the tough woody ends on the asparagus and place on the baking sheet.
3. 3Drizzle with lemon olive oil (if you don't have lemon, use regular olive oil), then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
4. 4Take the ends of the parchment paper and pull them up together (so the asparagus gets coated with the salt, pepper and olive oil, or roll them around in the oil), then lay paper back flat on baking sheet and spread spears back out evenly.
5. 5Bake for approximately 9-10 minutes when using the thinner spears about 14 minutes with the thicker spears.
6. 6After 9-10 minutes, remove from oven, squeeze lemon juice lightly oven asparagus and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
7. 7Place back in the oven and bake for 4-5 additional minutes.
8. 8Remove from oven and serve right away.
