Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
Wash the asparagus and trim the woody ends by bending each spear gently until it snaps naturally.
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the asparagus spears with olive oil, chopped garlic, lemon zest, sea salt, and black pepper until well coated.
Arrange the asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 10-15 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and lightly browned. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
Remove from the oven and, if desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately as a delightful soy-free side dish.
