Broiled Asparagus with Cotija Cheese

Ingredients

• 1 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 ounces Cotija cheese, grated or shredded
• 1 lime, cut into wedges

Directions

1. Set your broiler to high. In a large bowl, combine the asparagus, oil, and 2/3rds of the cheese, then add salt and pepper.
2. Spread the mixture on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil. Slide it under the broiler, 2-inches from the element, and cook until the asparagus is tender with plenty of char, 4 to 8 minutes total, giving the pan a shake now and then.
3. Move the asparagus to a bowl, fold in the remaining cheese, and bring it to the table with lime wedges.
