Zesty Broiled Asparagus with Cotija

Recipe from welcometothetable.coop

Asparagus pairs well with proteins, such as chicken, ham or veggie sausage, or pastas like orzo.

Prep Time

5 minutes

Cook Time

10 minutes

Yield

4 Servings

Ingredients

1 pound asparagus
1 tablespoon olive oil, extra virgin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt (kosher)
2 ounces cheese, cotija (crumbled)
1⁄2 teaspoon oregano, dried

Instructions

Preheat the broiler and move the top rack of the oven so it’s six inches away from the heat source.

Line a sheet pan with foil. Snap off the bottom couple inches from the asparagus and discard. Place the stalks on the sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with chili powder and salt. Toss to coat.

Spread the asparagus evenly on the pan, and broil for two to four minutes, just until the asparagus is browning in spots and the oil is sizzling on the pan. If your asparagus is thin, it will take two minutes; thicker asparagus will take longer. Remove from the broiler, sprinkle with the Cotija cheese and oregano, and return to broil for one

minute to heat the cheese.
