Finally it’s Spring! And since we have fresh Asparagus in the market and grocery stores now, I love it because it’s such a simple and easy vegetable to cook. Tastes delicious even steamed with a couple of dots of butter and a sprinkle of salt.

But why stop there when you can make this delicious Roasted Asparagus with Parmesan!

How to make Roasted Asparagus Italian Style:

In Italy Italians love to fancy up Asparagus as a side dish, alla Parmigiano. In other words not one layer of asparagus but two. Each Layer has a sprinkle of salt and a tablespoon of butter dotted on top and a generous sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan Cheese. Then baked to perfection.

How to Clean Asparagus:

  • Under cool water rinse the asparagus spears in order to remove any dirt.
  • Sometimes really thick asparagus will have a tough outer skin. It can be removed (if you want) with a vegetable peeler.
  • Then snap off the bottom (an inch or so should be enough) by using your fingers, the stem will break naturally where the tough woody part ends and the tender stem begins.
  • Dry the spears by gently towel drying.
  • Your spears are now ready for using in a recipe either leaving them whole or cut up.

How to store Asparagus:

  • Fresh asparagus should be kept refrigerated until cooking time.
  • To help raw asparagus last longer, wrap the bottom of the stalks in a damp paper towel, then refrigerate in an unsealed plastic bag.

How long does raw asparagus last in the fridge?

Stored properly raw asparagus should keep for approximately 3-4 days in the fridge.

How to Tell if Asparagus has gone bad:

Asparagus that is going bad or is bad will usually become soft and discoloured. The tips of the vegetable will start to darken. Throw away any asparagus that has an off smell or appearance.

More Delicious Italian Side Dishes:

  • Simple Italian Green Bean Toss
  • Italian Roasted Vegetables

If you are a lover of Asparagus as we are I hope you enjoy this Oven Roasted Asparagus with Parmesan Cheese. Buon Appetito!
