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!

Sandy says
I just made this recipe for the first time! It’s so delicious. I used garlic powder instead of garlic.
Will make it again, next time with white asparagus!!
Sarah says
So is the nutritional info for four servings or for six. The size and macros would change quite a bit if I divide into four but it’s actually 1 of 6 servings.
Kat says
Made this tonight wish I had doubled the recipe as it was gone before I could have seconds!
Karina says
I use the nutritional USDA serving amount on all my information. Hope that helps!
Barry says

Lisa A. says
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.
Karina says
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!
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.
Bev says
Made this for Easter dinner. It was a hit with everyone! So good and so, so easy and quick.
Joyce says
Looks delish! I plan on adding this to our Easter dinner. Yummy!
John says

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
