Make this recipe a recipe that people in that category can eat. categories: ['low_fat'], recipe: preheat oven to 500°f. rinse asparagus, and break off woody bottoms. lay stalks in a baking dish that will hold them in two or three layers. toss with bits of butter or the oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and place in oven. roast 5 minutes, then shake dish to redistribute butter or oil. roast 5 minutes more, then test for doneness by piercing a spear with point of a sharp knife; it should slide in but meet a little resistance. (up to this point, the recipe can be made as much as two hours before serving; just leave asparagus at room temperature). top with freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano just before serving.

Target recipe: clean and break off tough ends of asparagus. roll asparagus in olive oil, coating each one. place asparagus on cookie sheet. bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes, until tender and crisp. take out and sprinkle parmesan cheese over them. return to oven for 5 minutes.
