Sometimes I just need a green side dish other than salad. My favorite alternative is my Parmesan crusted asparagus. I have to say, I copied my mom's idea for these. The first time I tried asparagus as a kid she made them with breadcrumbs and parmigiano cheese on top, and I instantly fell in love. I didn't know her recipe, but a few years ago I was craving them and decided to try to make it up myself by remembering the taste. It was a success! However, this is another one of my recipes that I don't measure - sorry!! You just need to eyeball it!!
Ingredients:
- A Bunch of Asparagus
- Garlic Powder
- Sea Salt
- Cracked Pepper
- Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese, Grated
- Breadcrumbs
- EV Olive Oil
Preheat oven to 370 degrees. Rinse the asparagus and pat dry. Snap off the hard ends (they will naturally snap where they need to be cut off). Lay flat in a baking pan sprayed with cooking spray.
Season with sea salt, cracked pepper, and lots of garlic powder. Layer on lots of breadcrumbs; then drizzle on extra virgin olive oil. Finally, grate lots of parmigiano cheese all over. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes then switch oven to broil for another couple minutes to get a nice top crunch.
