This quick and easy side dish adds a delicious twist to any meal, bringing vibrant flavor and a satisfying crunch to your table.

Ingredients:

- 2 pounds asparagus washed, dried and wood ends removed
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup parmesan cheese fresh grated, or Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- ½ cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 teaspoons parsley finely chopped
- 1 pinch salt to taste, about ½-3/4 teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 pinch pepper

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Lightly grease a baking tray or sheet with non-stick cooking oil spray.
Place the trimmed asparagus in a bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and use your hands to evenly coat onto the asparagus.
Transfer the asparagus and breadcrumb mixture onto prepared baking sheet and arrange into one even layer. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the asparagus are just tender.
Broil/grill for 2-3 minutes until breadcrumbs are golden browned and asparagus has reached desired doneness.
Serve warm.
