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 roasted asparagus of your life!
- Asparagus ✓
- Garlic ✓
- Olive oil ✓
- Mozzarella Cheese ✓
HOW TO ROAST ASPARAGUS
- 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 asparagus 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!

This asparagus was excellent. I always have trouble getting my family to eat asparagus, but with this recipe it was the first thing everyone went for. The only problem was, was that the cheese kept falling off. However, really that wasn’t a problem since it was even better without the cheese.

My husband usually only eats a few pieces of asparagus, but I made this as a side for Valentine’s day and he went back for seconds! I will definitely be making this again.

I love asparagus any way I can get it and garlic is one of my go-to for everything so I did make this dish tonight. I am always up for another recipe to try for variety but I don’t think I will ever eat asparagus any other way now. You sure outdid yourself on this one. I love it. Can’t get enough. Thanks for sharing it.
