Lemon Broiled Asparagus!

Spring has (almost) sprung and with that means... asparagus is in season! 
I love asparagus so much. Jase and I have eaten it with dinner at least three times in the past week. My favorite (simple) way to make it:

Wash and pat dry asparagus. Cut off the bottom inch or so and place in a single layer on a tin-foil covered cooking sheet.

Drizzle some (I used less than a TBS) olive oil over the asparagus and roll them all around in it so they're equally covered. I have also seen some people simply spray it with cooking spray... but I think that's gross. Go for the olive oil.

Squeeze the juice of half of a lemon over asparagus, then sprinkle lots of salt and pepper on it. Finally, cover with desired amount of grated Parmesan cheese.

Broil on High for about 5 minutes, until the cheese starts to brown and the asparagus is tender. 

Enjoy!
