You need a bunch of Asparagus, cutting off the "wooden" end parts. Mix the oil, butter (I actually just used stick margarine), Garlic, Parmesian, salt, pepper, and Panko crumbs. (Again, I didn't have any Panko bread crumbs, instead i used some of those Texas Toast Garlic Bread seasoned salad croutons, put them in a plastic bag and smashed them to crumbs). Then add the asparagus to coat with the mixture as evenly as possible.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Put your asparagus/cheese/crumb mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet. You'll cook the asparagus for 10 minutes on your top oven rack, then broil for 3-4 minutes to finish.
2 pounds (1 kg) asparagus washed, dried and wood ends removed
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons olive oil
5 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese (or Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese)
1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
2 teaspoons parsley, finely chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste (about 1/2-3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper)
If you try this and don't think it's the most delicious way to cook asparagus, I will personally come to your house and eat the rest. Enjoy!
I wish you good luck, and I see you!
