ROASTED PARMESAN ASPARAGUS

Asparagus season always has me looking for new ways to eat it.  This is simple and very good.  Trim off the woody ends of a bunch or whatever you plan to eat.  Put 1-3 T. of olive oil in the bottom of a cookie sheet or small baking pan.  (depending on how much you are going to cook)  Grate fine 1-2 cloves of garlic into the pan.  Arrange the asparagus in a single layer in the pan and roll around in the oil until it is all covered nicely.  Sprinkle a little salt and pepper over the bunch.  Broil on high for 3 minutes and toss a little with a spatula to turn as best you can.  Broil for 3 more minutes.  Check for desired crispness.  Some stalks are larger and need more time.  Turn off the oven, remove to a plate and sprinkle generously with coarse grated Parmesan.  Put back into the warm oven until melted and serve as soon as possible.

We tried it and loved it! I wonder what other vegetables you could roast.
