Garlic Browned Butter Baked Asparagus with Parmesan Cheese would have to be the perfect accompaniment or side dish, apart from Smashed Potatoes, or Wedges, or dare I say, Salad. If you’re not a fan of asparagus, you may just be converted after trying this recipe!

Garlic Browned Butter Baked Asparagus… The browned butter, with the hint of garlic and lemon juice, transforms this from ‘eat your greens’ to ‘pass me more!’

If you’re anything like me, I’ve tried asparagus in every way possible with different ingredients. This is by far the best recipe I’ve tried. The browned butter provides an almost fried taste with the addictive nutty aroma, and adding garlic and a splash of lemon juice into it takes it beyond plain browned butter to something absolutely incredible.

After pan frying, steaming and boiling, I keep coming back to this recipe. It’s simple to make with cheap ingredients you have on hand, and transforms a meal into an almost gourmet feel.
