Parmesan Crusted Asparagus
This simple parmesan crusted asparagus recipe makes a delicious side during the short but sweet Ontario asparagus season! It’s the season for Asparagus, and we love using Ontario Asparagus to make this simple and easy side dish–Parmesan Crusted Asparagus! Similar to the viral Parmesan Potatoes, this is the same version but uses seasonal Asparagus.We love serving this with a nice dollop of Burrata Cheese for an extra luxurious finish and a lovely texture contrast, feel free to skip that or use goat cheese or feta cheese if you’d like!

✅Use butter or olive oil for this recipe.
✅Pick your favorite spices
✅Any oven safe dish works–metal or ceramic
✅make sure the Asparagus is in a single layer on the baking dish
