Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Place asparagus on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, a sprinkling of salt, and freshly cracked black pepper, then toss to evenly coat. Arrange the asparagus in a single layer.
Bake for about 10 minutes or until the asparagus are browned, but not flimsy or overcooked. Transfer to a serving dish. Squeeze a lemon and a grating of Parmesan cheese, if using, over the hot asparagus.
