Instructions

Preheat oven to 400℉ / 205℃.
Wash asparagus under cold water and dry with paper towels.
Cut 1-2 inches off the bottom of stalk and discard cut pieces.
Put your asparagus stalks in a quart or gallon size ziplock bag.
Add olive oil and roll gently to coat all stalks. (If using lemon, squeeze some of the juice into the bag also)
Remove stalks from bag and arrange lengthwise on a baking sheet.
Sprinkle with a small amount of salt and pepper.
Then sprinkle with the parmesan cheese. (If using a lemon, zest it over top of the asparagus at this point.)
Roast in oven, uncovered for 12-14 minutes, or until tender.
Serve immediately.
