Description

Even the non-asparagus fans in your family can get behind this tasty recipe for cheesy, garlic, roasted asparagus.

Ingredients

nonstick cooking spray
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, or to taste

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a foil-lined baking sheet with nonstick spray.
2 Mix olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Arrange asparagus on the prepared baking sheet, and drizzle oil mixture over top; toss to coat.
3 Roast in the preheated oven until spears are vibrant in color and just beginning to get tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn on the broiler.
4 Top asparagus with mozzarella cheese. Return to the oven and broil until cheese melts and becomes golden, 4 to 5 minutes.
