Roasted Cheesy Asparagus

I did not have asparagus on my grocery list but my grocery store had just put some out and it looked really good. I could not resist grabbing a bunch! I did not follow a recipe but just threw this side dish together with just a couple other ingredients that I had on hand. Jim and I both really enjoyed this asparagus dish and will be making this often.

INGREDIENTS

1 bunch of Asparagus, bottoms trimmed
2 Tablespoons of olive oil
Salt
pepper
1/2 cup Gruyere cheese

DIRECTIONS

Move your oven rack onto the upper portion of your oven and turn the oven to broil. Leave the oven door ajar.

On a foil lined baking sheet add the asparagus layering them on an even layer. Drizzle with olive oil, add a pinch of salt and pepper. Grate the gruyere cheese over the asparagus. Place in the oven still leaving the door slightly open. These cook very fast so it’s important to watch them. When the cheese is melted and the asparagus is lightly crisped they are done. This took me under 10 minutes but if you have larger asparagus it may take just a slightly bit longer. Serve warm.

Enjoy!
