Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 lb (450g) fresh asparagus, trimmed

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

  • Optional: red pepper flakes or lemon zest for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Place trimmed asparagus in a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

  4. Bake uncovered for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly and asparagus is tender.
