| Directions | Preheat oven to 450°. Place asparagus on baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat. Arrange asparagus in a single layer. Spread Parmesan over spears and season with pepper (and salt). Bake 12 - 15 minutes until cheese is melted and asparagus is tender but crisp - al dente. Serve immediately on warm plates, sprinkle with balsamic vinegar to taste. |
