Notes

A little parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast can be sprinkled on for added flavor.
You can line your baking sheet with parchment paper first for a non-stick surface. This also makes clean-up faster too!
The cooking times will change depending on the size of your asparagus. You’ll know when the asparagus is completely cooked when you can easily pierce it with a fork. It could take anywhere from 10 minutes for thin ones to 20 minutes for really thick ones.
