Sweet or Salty

There are many different ways to prepare vegetables.  Can you think of one way that vegetables are prepared when they taste salty?  How about one way they taste sweet? 

Roasted Parmesan Asparagus

Ingredients



2 1/2 pounds fresh asparagus (about 30 large)
2 tablespoons good olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
2 lemons cut in wedges, for serving


Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.  If the stalks of the asparagus are thick, Hold each of the ends of the stalk and bring them together. The stalk will snap.



Discard the bottom (woody) portion. Lay the spears in a single layer on a sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and return to the oven for another minute. Serve with lemon wedges.
