Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus
- 4 whole scallions
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse the asparagus under cold water and trim the woody ends (approximately 1-2 inches). Pat the asparagus dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Thinly slice the scallions, including the white and green parts. Set aside.
Drain the sun-dried tomatoes from their oil and roughly chop them into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the asparagus, scallions, and sun-dried tomatoes. Drizzle the olive oil over the top and sprinkle in the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss all the ingredients until the asparagus is evenly coated.
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, arranging the asparagus in a single layer for even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and slightly caramelized on the edges. Toss the vegetables halfway through cooking for even browning.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with lemon zest before serving. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve warm as a side dish or as a topping for salads or grain bowls.
