Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb asparagus
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Trim the tough ends off the asparagus spears by bending them gently near the base until they snap naturally.
Place the asparagus spears on a large baking sheet in a single layer.
Drizzle the olive oil over the asparagus and add the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the asparagus is evenly coated.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until it becomes tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
Once roasted, remove the asparagus from the oven and sprinkle it with lemon zest, lemon juice, grated Parmesan cheese, and red pepper flakes (if desired).
Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your Roasted Garlic Asparagus Supreme!
