Parmesan Asparagus “Fries”

Preheat broiler. Rinse asparagus, and chop about 1 1/2 inches off the bottom of each spear. (I do this in batches, not each separate spear. That would up my prep time!!) I cut on a diagonal, though I’m not really sure why.

Place the spears on a cookie sheet in a single layer.

Drizzle the olive oil onto the spears, then sprinkle on the delicious sea salt. (You don’t need a lot of the salt to taste. It’s very flavorful.)

Last, toss the parmesan cheese on top.

Stick the pan under the broiler for approximately 5 minutes. The spears will be bright green, and the cheese will be barely toasted. The spears will still be slightly crisp when you bite into them.
