Easy Baked Parmesan Asparagus

Last night was a special kind of crazy.

We had grandiose plans of taking full advantage of the gorgeous weather and grilling out on our patio. However...in the midst of the toddler running around and me cleaning up after her and my hubby dutifully slicing veggies, we landed up in the ER before dinner was even underway.

To make a long story short, everyone is fine and kitchen knives are not Hubby's friend.

An hour later we were safely back home and Hubby was banned from kitchen duty. :) Don't get me wrong, he is a fantastic cook, but slicing veggies was no longer an option for him.

So I took over what I had started earlier, an asparagus side. This is hands down my favorite way to cook asparagus. They turn out slightly crispy, buttery and perfectly seasoned. Plus, they only take twenty minutes!

Never tried asparagus? This is the perfect recipe to start out with!

We had zucchini on the side too. :)

Lay asparagus across the baking tray.

Pour melted butter or margarine over the top of all the asparagus.

Served with baked zucchini and crumbly burgers. Delish!

Enjoy with life!  <3
