Oven Roasted Asparagus

This is a combination of multiple recipes for asparagus that I’ve found over the years. Its very basic, but it is because of this recipe that I can say that all of my kids, ages 10-14, like asparagus. My daughter even asked for this as a vegetable side for her birthday dinner!

*This can be DAIRY FREE if you omit the parmesan and it is GLUTEN FREE*
