Course Side Dish
Servings 4 (I double to serve my family of 6 with leftovers)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb asparagus
  • 1/8 cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp melted butter
  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 6-8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp mineral salt
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Prep the asparagus - trim by cutting off bottom inch, then using a vegetable peeler to shave off the fibrous part of the last inch. Or you could just cut a few inches off of the bottom if you prefer!
  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place asparagus in a single layer on the parchment paper.
  • Sprinkle the asparagus with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Place the asparagus in the oven and bake for fifteen minutes.
  • After fifteen minutes, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and drizzle with butter, then sprinkle cheese and bacon over the top.
  • Return to oven for 5-10 minutes, or until cheese is all melted and beginning to lightly brown.
