Asparagus with Crispy Breadcrumbs

I pretty much love asparagus no matter how it's cooked.

But... I have a weakness for oven cooked vegetables in general
and I love this baked aspargus dish as it is the
perfect side for almost any main meat meal.


INGREDIENTS
1 x Asparagus bunch
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1/4 Cup Japanese Panko Breadcrumbs
Seasalt
Freshly Ground Pepper
2 Tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese

METHOD
Preheat oven to 225 degrees Celsius. 

Rinse and pat dry the asparagus. Then cut the woody ends off the asparagus.

Place the asparagus in an oven proof dish and toss the asparagus with enough oil just to coat .

Season generously with salt and pepper.

Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly across the spears and place them in the oven to roast for 7-10 minutes.

Remove the asparagus from the oven when the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the asparagus tips are starting to brown.

Sprinkle with grated parmesan, and serve.
