Tender roast asparagus covered in plenty of melted cheese!
I’ve shared a number of asparagus recipes over the years and I recently noticed that I have not shred one of my favourites, this cheesy roast asparagus! This recipe is so easy, roast the asparagus, top with cheese and broil until the cheese has melted! What a great way to enjoy asparagus! I like to season the asparagus simply with salt and pepper, along with a pinch of garlic powder. You can use your favourite melty cheese and this combination of tasty parmesan with melty mozzarella is a fabulous one!

Tender roast asparagus covered in plenty of melted cheese!
ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus, trimmed
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons parmigiano reggiano (parmesan cheese), grated
- 1 cup mozzarella, shredded
directions
- Toss the asparagus in the oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and arrange on a baking pan in a single layer.
- Bake in a preheated 400F/200C oven until the asparagus starts to get tender, about 10-15 minutes.
- Sprinkle on both cheeses, return to the oven and broil until the cheese melts and turns a little golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Note: The bake time for asparagus can vary depending on the thickness of the asparagus. Thicker asparagus will take longer and thinner will take less time.
