Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the asparagus thoroughly under cold water and trim the woody ends; these are usually about 1 to 1.5 inches from the base.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and freshly ground black pepper.
Add the asparagus to the bowl and toss until evenly coated with the olive oil mixture.
Spread the asparagus out in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and slightly crisp on the edges.
Remove the asparagus from the oven. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and lemon zest for added flavor and serve immediately.
