Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I use frozen asparagus for this recipe?
A: While fresh asparagus is best for this recipe, you can use frozen asparagus if needed. Just be sure to thaw and pat it dry before tossing it in the olive oil and seasoning. You may need to adjust the cooking time slightly.
Q: Can I make this dish vegan?
A: Absolutely! To make this recipe vegan, simply replace the mozzarella and Parmesan with your favorite dairy-free cheese alternatives, and use olive oil or vegan butter for flavor.
Q: How do I prevent the asparagus from getting soggy?
A: Make sure your asparagus is spread in a single layer on the baking sheet. Overlapping the spears will cause them to steam rather than roast, leading to soggy asparagus. Also, pat the asparagus dry before seasoning to remove excess moisture.
Q: Can I prepare this dish ahead of time?
A: You can prepare the asparagus up to the point of adding the cheese, then cover it and store it in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours before baking. When you’re ready, top with cheese and bake as directed.
