Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Asparagus
- 8 oz Cremini mushrooms (sliced)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 whole Lemon (zested and juiced)
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (optional, grated)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Wash the asparagus and trim off the tough ends. Pat dry and place the stalks in a large mixing bowl.
Wipe clean the cremini mushrooms and slice them into thick pieces. Add the sliced mushrooms to the bowl with the asparagus.
Drizzle the asparagus and mushrooms with olive oil, and add minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until evenly coated.
Spread the asparagus and mushrooms evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 15–20 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and slightly caramelized and the mushrooms are golden brown.
Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven, and drizzle the roasted vegetables with fresh lemon juice for added brightness.
Optional: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top before serving for an extra layer of flavor.
Serve the roasted asparagus and mushrooms warm as a side dish or enjoy them on their own!
