"Baking asparagus seems to enhance the flavour of this great vegetable. Add a bit of lemon juice and some parmesan it makes it a special dish to accompany any meal. The 10 minute bake time leaves the asparagus hot through with still a lot of crunch. If the spears are very thin decrease the baking time If you like your vegetables well done bake for a longer time. It is lovely even without the parmesan."
