Asparagus is a spring vegetable that has been enjoyed for centuries. It's a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, and it has a slightly bitter taste that pairs well with a variety of flavors. Roasting asparagus is a great way to bring out its natural sweetness, and adding Parmesan cheese and Panko breadcrumbs gives it a crispy, flavorful crust. This recipe was inspired by a dish I had at a restaurant a few years ago. The asparagus was roasted to perfection, and the Parmesan cheese and Panko breadcrumbs added a delicious crunch. I've been making this recipe at home ever since, and it's always a hit with my family and friends.
