Roasted asparagus is one of our favorite, easiest sides that can be made any time of year and for any occasion. It's simply flavored with a little olive oil, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese, that's it! And all you have to do is let the asparagus roast in the oven until the desired tenderness is reached, which should take about 10 minutes. As a general note, you should always keep a wedge of high-quality Parmesan cheese in your refrigerator to add amazing flavor to simple roasted vegetables, pastas, and soups. We like Parmigiano Reggiano, which adds a deliciously nutty taste.
