Asparagus is naturally low in carbs, making it an excellent choice for ketogenic diets. Roasting it with garlic and parmesan cheese elevates its flavor profile, creating a truly satisfying side. This recipe is perfect for weeknight dinners or as a flavorful addition to any special occasion.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound asparagus, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and trim the asparagus spears. Snap off the tough ends – they’ll naturally break where they become less tender.
- In a bowl, toss the asparagus with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Make sure the asparagus is evenly coated.
- Spread the asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the asparagus.
- Roast for 10-12 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender-crisp and the Parmesan cheese is golden brown.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips and Variations:
- For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice after roasting.
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor.
- Experiment with different cheeses like Pecorino Romano or Asiago.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet, as this will steam the asparagus instead of roasting it.
This Keto Garlic Parmesan Roasted Asparagus is a simple yet elegant side dish that will quickly become a family favorite. It’s the perfect complement to grilled chicken, steak, or fish. Enjoy!
