Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh asparagus
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the asparagus under cold water to clean it. Pat dry with a clean towel.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears, about 1 to 2 inches from the bottom.
Place the asparagus on a large baking sheet in a single layer.
In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a seasoned oil mixture.
Drizzle the seasoned oil mixture evenly over the asparagus, ensuring all spears are lightly coated.
Sprinkle the lemon zest over the top for a fresh, bright flavor.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until tender but slightly crisp, and the tips are lightly browned.
If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the asparagus during the last 2 minutes of roasting for a melted, savory finish.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own.
