1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 oz shaved Parmesan cheese
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4 c. balsamic vinegar, or to taste
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place asparagus on baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. Arrange asparagus spears in a single layer. Spread parmesan cheese over asparagus, and season with freshly ground black pepper. Bake 12-15 minutes till cheese is melted and asparagus is tender but crisp. Serve immediately on warm plates, sprinkling with balsamic vinegar to taste.
