Roasted Asparagus

With spring comes fresh local asparagus. So easy and good for you too!
Ingredients

• 2 1/2 pounds fresh asparagus (about 30 large)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. If the stalks of the asparagus are thick; a new trick I heard, was snap the end off and where it snaps is where is starts to get tough; or peel the bottom half of each stalk.
3. Lay them in a single layer on a sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil.
4. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
5. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender.
6. Remove from oven and sprinkle with the Parmesan and return to the oven for another minute.
7. Enjoy!
