Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Asparagus
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash the asparagus and trim the woody ends, about 1-2 inches from the bottom of each stalk.
Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Lay the asparagus evenly on the baking sheet in a single layer.
Drizzle the olive oil over the asparagus and gently toss to ensure all stalks are coated.
Season the asparagus with salt and black pepper.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 8-10 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and slightly crisp on the edges.
While the asparagus is roasting, finely chop the chives and zest the lemon.
Once the asparagus is done, remove it from the oven and immediately drizzle it with fresh lemon juice.
Sprinkle the lemon zest and chopped chives evenly over the asparagus.
Serve warm as a side dish or snack. Enjoy!
