Today let’s make – Oven Roasted Parmesan Asparagus
Oven-roasted parmesan asparagus is the perfect side dish for any occasion. I love these oven-roasted asparagus because they’re not stringy or mushy they are cooked just right. Asparagus are already so expensive, why would you want to ruin them with a mediocre recipe? Trust me on this one, it’s a winner!
Simple, fresh ingredients always turn out the best! Olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper, and parmesan cheese are all you need to bring these asparagus to life. Give it a try and let me know how you like it in the comments below.

Health Benefits of Asparagus:
Asparagus is a nutritious and tasty addition to any diet. It’s low in calories and a great source of nutrients, including fiber, folate and vitamins A, C and K.
Additionally, eating asparagus has a number of potential health benefits, including weight loss, improved digestion, and lower blood pressure.
Plus, it’s easy to prepare and makes a delicious addition to a number of recipes.
Just half a cup of asparagus contains 1.8 grams of fiber, which is 7% of your daily needs.
Studies show that a diet high in fiber-rich fruits and vegetables may help reduce the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes.
It also contains a small amount of soluble fiber, which dissolves in water and forms a gel-like substance in the digestive tract.
Soluble fiber feeds the friendly bacteria in the gut, such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus.
Increasing the number of these beneficial bacteria plays a role in strengthening the immune system and producing essential nutrients like vitamins B12 and K2.
