Roasted Parmesan Asparagus with Radish-Chive Butter

Serves 4-6

1 pound fresh asparagus, rinsed, tough ends trimmed

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

¼ cup butter, softened, not melted

2 tablespoon finely chopped fresh radish

2 tablespoons fresh chives, minced

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Salt & pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Place asparagus across an 8x11-inch baking dish and drizzle with olive oil and Parmesan cheese. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until tender or more for very thick asparagus.

Meanwhile, prepare radish-chive butter by stirring together butter, radish, chives and lemon juice in a small bowl. Cover butter blend with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.

Serve roasted asparagus by placing each serving of 6-8 asparagus on each plate and top with a dollop of blended butter. So delicious!
