Baked Asparagus with Parmesan Crust and Balsamic Glaze
Ingredients
  • 1 pound thin asparagus spears
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 ounce shaved Parmesan cheese
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, or to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to a high temperature of 450 degrees Fahrenheit, which is equivalent to 230 degrees Celsius.
2
Take a baking sheet and position the asparagus spears on it in an orderly fashion. Drizzle olive oil over the asparagus, mixing it well to achieve a uniform coating.
3
Arrange the asparagus spears in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping or touching one another.
4
Add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese over the asparagus, followed by a few grinds of freshly ground black pepper to enhance its flavor.
5
Bake the asparagus in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the asparagus is tender but still retains its crispiness.
6
Serve the baked asparagus hot on warm plates, accompanied by a light drizzle of balsamic vinegar to add a tangy touch.
