Making Roasted Asparagus with Parmesan is straightforward. Follow these steps for perfect results:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Asparagus: Rinse the asparagus under cold water and pat dry. Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus stalks.
3. Season: Place the asparagus on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to coat evenly.
4. Roast: Spread the asparagus in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes.
5. Add Parmesan: Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the asparagus.
6. Continue Roasting: Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
7. Serve: Once finished, remove the asparagus from the oven. Transfer to a serving platter and serve with lemon wedges if desired.

These simple steps will lead you to a sumptuous side dish that delights the senses.
