This will be your winning Thanksgiving side dish. It’s definitely simple but it is crowd pleaser through and through. My favorite version of this is with shredded parmesan and feta cheese but it all works. Mozzarella, cheddar, whatever you have in your fridge.

Roasting veggies always brings out their flavors so much more intensely. Just be careful with asparagus not to over cook them – will become soggy and inedible. The thin asparagus take about 7 minutes to cook and the thicker ones take about 10 minutes. Also love to top this with some chili pepper flakes for some added heat. The cheese, garlic and asparagus pair perfectly together.
