Baked Asparagus with Cheesy Onion Topping
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Trim the white ends from the asparagus so the stalks are all about the same length. Arrange the stalks on a baking sheet so they are touching.

  3. 3

    Drizzle the asparagus stalks with olive oil. Shake the onion soup mix packet to redistribute any settled ingredients, then sprinkle it over the asparagus.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven until softened and lightly browned, 25 to 35 minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove from the oven, then sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the asparagus. Bake again until the cheese is melted and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes more.
