Roasted Parmesan Asparagus

I’ve never been a huge fan of asparagus, but when I stumbled on a grilled asparagus recipe and tried it, I was surprised.

Even if you don’t like asparagus, you should try this. I’ve never been a huge fan of asparagus, but when I stumbled on a grilled asparagus recipe and tried it, I was surprised. The browning plus a hint of blackening on the edges, while maintaining crispness in the center made me realize what I’d been missing for so many years. I’ve since modified the recipe for my toaster oven and changed things up a bit. I love it and I hope you do, too!
