Directions
1 If using fresh asparagus or string beans, start by trimming the ends.
2 Place your vegetable of choice in a 2-quart microwaveable casserole dish with water. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave for 10-12 minutes or until tender. If using frozen vegetables, cut down the microwave time according to the package's instructions.
3 Remove from microwave and let stand for 5-7 minutes in order to cool down a bit.
4 Carefully remove plastic and drain.
5 Coat vegetables with non-stick cooking spray and toss.
6 Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and pepper. Microwave uncovered for 1 minute to melt cheese or place under broiler. Let stand 2 minutes.
Additional Information
Variation: For Parmesan Baked Mushrooms, use whole portobello mushrooms, with the stem removed instead of the combination of vegetables.
