Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 lb (450g) fresh asparagus, trimmed

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Wash and trim the woody ends off the asparagus.

  3. Place the asparagus on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

  4. Toss to coat evenly, then arrange the asparagus in a single layer.

  5. Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan over the asparagus.

  6. Bake for 15–18 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the asparagus is tender.

  7. Broil for an additional 1–2 minutes if you prefer a golden cheese crust.

  8. Serve hot as a side dish or appetizer.

Notes

  • For crispier asparagus, reduce baking time by 2–3 minutes.

  • Add crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy twist.

  • Can be made with vegan cheese substitutes.
