Parmesan Roasted Asparagus

(originally made 1/2008)

I haven't been an asparagus eater for long, my mom used to make the canned stuff when I was growing up and I'd run screaming   :)    I bought a bag of frozen asparagus spears, thought I would give them a try with this.     This recipe is easy and good, I'd give it an 8 out of 10, and I think I would rate it higher if I had used fresh asparagus.    Definitely made the "make again" list!

Enjoy!
