Sooooooo good!!!!!
Being a lover of asparagus, I don't like to mask it's taste in any way. Usually I just roast it but adding the Parmesan cheese is truly a tasty recipe. It made a great alternative to enjoy.

I have been making my asparagus roasted in the over like this for a couple of years. I use Crisco Extra Virgin Olive Oil it gives a little bit of extra flavor and it is good for your heart.
