Notes
Nutrition information does not include optional parmesan cheese.
Add seasoning variations (red pepper flakes, lemon, balsamic vinegar, dill)
Thick asparagus spears will take longer to cook; thinner asparagus will cook faster.
Have something else in the oven cooking at a different temperature? Simply adjust the cooking time, i.e., 425
ºF for 10 minutes, or 375ºF for 14 minutes.
