Asparagus has quickly become a staple of ours during the Holidays. My Baked Asparagus with Parmesan is absolutely delicious but this Cheesy Baked Asparagus is our favorite!
This Baked Asparagus dish is not only super easy to make, but it’s also ready within 20 minutes! It will probably take the oven longer to preheat then to make this cheesy side dish.

If you don’t use asparagus very often, you might not know how to trim the ends off. The easiest way, in my opinion, is to hold the asparagus near the end and bend it until it snaps. The tough end should break right off at the correct place.
I will caution you before you fire up the oven and make this asparagus recipe, that you know about some of the “side effects” of eating asparagus, like smelly urine. If you can get over that, then you are good to go!
