Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb asparagus
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1.5 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp lime zest
- 2 oz goat cheese
- 2 tbsp toasted almond slices (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Wash the asparagus and trim the woody ends by snapping or cutting off the bottom 1-2 inches.
Place the asparagus on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, then toss to coat evenly.
Spread the asparagus out in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 12-15 minutes, or until the spears are tender and slightly caramelized.
While the asparagus is roasting, prepare the honey-lime glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, and lime zest until combined.
Once the asparagus is finished roasting, transfer it to a serving platter or keep it on the baking sheet. Drizzle the honey-lime glaze evenly over the asparagus.
Crumble the goat cheese over the top of the glazed asparagus for a creamy finish. If desired, sprinkle toasted almond slices for added crunch.
Serve immediately as a flavorful side dish to complement any meal.
