ROASTED ASPARAGUS
If our Grilled Asparagus, Browned Butter Baked Asparagus and our Lemon Garlic Asparagus doesn’t do it for you, this cheesy garlic roasted asparagus definitely will!
The easiest way to get asparagus into your diet is by roasting it. Throw it on a baking tray and let the oven do its thing. It doesn’t get any easier. But not everyone’s a fan of these green stalks! Coming up with creative ways for everyone to enjoy them can be a nightmare. That’s where this asparagus recipe comes in!
You’re only going to need four ingredients:
- 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 stem 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.
Your roasted asparagus will be done in less than 15 minutes!
WHAT TO SERVE WITH ROASTED ASPARAGUS
The beautiful thing about asparagus is its versatility. Thanks to its earthiness and subtle bitterness, roasted asparagus is the perfect vegetable to cut through rich flavours.
We like to pair our cheesy garlic roasted asparagus with Easy Honey Garlic Salmon, Parmesan Crusted Chicken, and Roast Beef Tenderloin.

oh this was so so good i had this for my 32 birthday on 4/5/2020
Happy birthday!
Really good I use a large bag to toss everything together. Also leftover mashed up on a toast is great!
I did this Recepie for Dinner tonight and my husband HATES asparagus! He has devoured his plate ? and has been ranting Omg this was so delicious how did you make it. Lol ? Thank You for such an easy and tasty and fast Recepie.
I just found this recipe and it just looks amazing! I think I will roast the garlic first. Can’t wait to find some asparagus so I can try it! Thank you.
Made this last night and it was Fantastic and Easy! My husband said it was like eating Asparagus Pizza 🙂
Asparagus pizza doesn’t sound bad. 😉
Any pizza without pineapple is a good pizza.
Will try the leftovers on toast, too.
How dare you pineapple on pizza is delicious!😂
I used parchment paper, which burned, for some reason. However, I caught it in time, took the burnt paper out and it turned out wonderfully, cooking the broccoli for twelve minutes before putting on the cheese for four. I used sharp cheddar and ghost pepper garlic salt seasoning, along with avocado oil. Thanks for the base recipe, though. Had been looking to make my asparagus a bit more tasty and this more than did the trick. Thanks so much!
Broccoli?
Never made asparagus before tonight. Thank you so much it was delicious and easy to make. The hubby loved it! Only had a Mex cheese blend and it worked very well. This is a permanent side dish in my home now
did you pre heat your oven before putting it in the with baking sheet.. (not all parchment paper are baking sheets.)
WOW – your cheesy asparagus recipe was amazing — I gave it a try tonight and I loved it but even my picky husband loved it – it was easy to make and it was amazing to eat — I will come back to your website for further recipes – THANK YOU !!!!!
Awesome looks good and sounds good to me I gotta make it.
Favourite!! I added fresh parm on top to serve.
It made a little less than I thought it would. It turned out really good though, was quick and easy to make too! My roommate and fiancee loved it!
