This is one of those recipes that has no measurements—you just layer, drizzle, sprinkle and bake—which makes for a very easy vegetable dish that can be prepared ahead and timed to come out of the oven when the rest of the meal is ready to go. 

1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.  

2. In a shallow baking dish, layer:

Asparagus stalks, tough ends snapped off and discarded 

3. Drizzle with:

Small amount of olive oil 

4. Sprinkle with:

Garlic salt

Italian seasoning

Grated Parmesan cheese 

5. Bake until asparagus is tender and cheese is melted and browning—approximately 10-12 minutes.

6. Serve with a squeeze of lemon.
