Lemon Roasted Asparagus

Lemon Roasted Asparagus

Any vegetable roasted is great.  Add some lemon, red pepper and parmesan and it becomes amazing.  Not too many ingredients and not too difficult, this is a really nice side dish.  I generally pan fry asparagus but I think I may have to make this one again.  I REALLY recommend getting a fresh parmesan wedge and grating yourself.  You will never go back to the green can or the refrigerated tub again.  There is a huge difference in flavor for 30 seconds worth of grating. *INDUCTION FRIENDLY*
