This is not a mix up and walk away while it cooks recipe. While it is simple to prepare, you have to watch the asparagus to be sure it doesn’t burn. It will turn on you in an instant.
Wash the asparagus and trim off the woody ends. You can throw them in a bag with other veggie scraps for when you make broth or I feed them to the chickens. Your choice.
Place asparagus on your sheet pan which you can line with aluminum foil for easier cleanup. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper then top with parmesan and mozzarella cheese. Broil for 5 to 10 minutes or until desired tenderness. They can burn in an instant so don’t walk away. Just don’t do it.
