Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus spears
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 cups sliced almonds
- 0.25 cups Asiago cheese (grated)
- 1 whole lemon (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and trim the tough ends off the asparagus spears.
Place the asparagus on a large baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer.
Drizzle the olive oil over the asparagus and toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the asparagus.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the asparagus is roasting, toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the asparagus is done, remove it from the oven and transfer it to a serving platter.
Sprinkle the toasted almonds and grated Asiago cheese over the roasted asparagus.
Optionally, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the dish just before serving for a bright, tangy finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
