Steps:
- Heat oven to 500 degrees; while it heats, put bread in, and check frequently until it is lightly toasted and dry. Coarsely grind or grate bread and cheese together (a small food processor is best), and keep crumbs larger than commercial bread crumbs.
- 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).
- Turn on broiler and place rack as close as possible to heating element. Top asparagus with cheese-crumb mixture and run under broiler to brown, a minute or two. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Tips:
- Choose thick asparagus stalks. Thicker stalks will hold up better during cooking and will be less likely to break.
- Cook the asparagus until it is tender-crisp. You want the asparagus to be cooked through, but you don't want it to be mushy. Cook it for about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Use a good quality pita bread. A fresh, soft pita bread will make a big difference in the final dish.
- Don't overload the pita rounds. If you put too much filling on the pita rounds, they will be difficult to eat and will fall apart.
- Serve the pita rounds immediately. The pita rounds are best when they are warm and fresh out of the oven.
Conclusion:
Asparagus parmesan pita rounds are a delicious and easy appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be served as a light meal. With their simple ingredients and quick preparation time, these pita rounds are a great option for busy weeknights or when you are entertaining guests.
