Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb fresh asparagus, trimmed
- 3 slices turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- ½ cup shredded Asiago cheese
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place trimmed asparagus on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, add garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- Spread asparagus in a single layer and roast for 12–15 minutes until tender but still crisp.
- Remove from oven, sprinkle with turkey bacon and Asiago cheese.
- Broil for 1–2 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Garnish with parsley if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use thick asparagus stalks for better texture when roasting.
- For extra crispness, increase oven temperature to 425°F.
- Parmesan or Gruyère can be used instead of Asiago.
- To make vegetarian, omit turkey bacon or substitute with roasted mushrooms.
