Ingredients

1 bunch of asparagus
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Wash and trim asparagus. You can trim without a knife by bending each asparagus spear until it snaps. That's how you can tell what part to discard

2. Heat a medium size skillet and add olive oil

3. Once hot, add asparagus and sprinkle with salt and pepper

4. Cook undisturbed for at least 4 minutes, then start to toss until all sides get a little charred. This usually takes 6-8 minutes. The key is not overcooking it so it remains crispy and not soggy

5. Remove from heat and top with freshly grated parmesan cheese

6. Serve with your favourite protein!
