Roasted Asparagus
The easiest way to get asparagus into your diet is roasting them. Throw them on a baking sheet or tray and letting the oven work it’s thing. It doesn’t get any easier. But not everyone’s a fan of these green stalks! Coming up with ways for everyone to enjoy them can be a nightmare! That’s where this asparagus recipe comes in! You’re only four main ingredients away from having the best asparagus of your life!
- Asparagus ✓
- Garlic ✓
- Olive oil ✓
- Mozzarella Cheese ✓
Roast Asparagus Tips
- Snap off the woody dry ends of the asparagus. A quicker way when cooking a large bunch like this is to snap the end off one first, then line them all up on your chopping board and slice through the rest at the same length.
- Drizzle with a delicious olive oil/garlic mixture.
- Roast! I roast these for only 10 minutes first to avoid over cooking them. Just make sure your oven is preheated!
- Top with mozzarella cheese and broil (or grill)! You could use whatever cheese you have on hand here, preferably a nice mild melting cheese.
All done in less than 15 minutes!

- 1 pound (500 g) asparagus spears, woody ends removed
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic (or 4 cloves garlic, minced)
- 3/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
- 1 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with nonstick cooking oil spray.
Arrange asparagus on baking sheet. Set aside.
In a small bowl mix together olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Drizzle the oil mixture over the asparagus and toss to evenly coat.
Bake for 10-15 minutes until vibrant and just beginning to get tender.

Adjust salt and pepper, if needed. Serve immediately.

Thank you! I sometimes like to use a garlic paste that you can purchase in the produce section by the lettuce. It makes it a little smoother to use and easier to spread. Hope you enjoy your roasted asparagus! They are delicious!

Looks fantastic! How do I get the garlic all smooth and creamy-looking like that? I’ve minced garlic before but it comes out just little pieces not liquidy like in your video.
Jessica says
I made this with a little adjustment. I didn’t have fresh garlic on hand so I used garlic power, and I brushed the olive oil mixture on. I didn’t use as much cheese as I should have, which I will remedy next time. This is so easy and delicious, and looks kind of fancy even though it’s such a simple recipe. I am now obsessed with cheesy asparagus and will make it ALL THE TIME.

I wish I had your talent of making your food look absolutely delicious!!! I follow your directions to the letter and my dishes do not ever look like yours. Oh well, maybe that’s why I ended up being a teacher and not a “foodie”. Thanks
