A quick and easy side dish from the book Everyday Food: Great Food Fast, this really would work with almost any fresh vegetable, but I really liked the parmesan flavor with asparagus.
1 1/2 pounds asparagus, trimmed
1 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 450F
In a shallow baking dish or rimmed baking sheet, toss trimmed asparagus in olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Top with shredded Parmesan cheese.
Bake 10-15 minutes or until asparagus is tender (will look bright green).
