24 large asparagus spears (about 2 pounds), trimmed and peeled

Parmesan, for shaving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange asparagus spears in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle oil over asparagus and turn to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Roast, turning occasionally, until lightly browned and just tender, 18-20 minutes.
