Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Asparagus
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the tough ends of the asparagus spears and place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Drizzle the asparagus with olive oil and lemon juice, ensuring even coating.
In a small bowl, mix together the cumin seeds, ground coriander, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the asparagus and toss until the spears are evenly coated in the spices.
Spread the asparagus evenly on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are in a single layer for even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 12-15 minutes, flipping the asparagus halfway through, until they are tender and slightly crispy at the tips.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for an added burst of flavor.
Serve warm as a side dish or as part of an Indian-inspired meal.
