salt, to taste

freshly ground black pepper, to taste

sprinkle of finely grated parmesan cheese

small hful of fresh mint or parsley, finely chopped

lemon wedges, from the remaining lemon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus (if you sharply bend the asparagus near the base, it will snap in the right place). Discard the ends.

Step 2

Place the asparagus on the sheet and drizzle with 1 to 2 teaspoons olive oil, just enough to lightly coat the asparagus. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the asparagus, and toss until the spears are lightly coated in oil. Arrange the spears in a single layer on the pan.
