This roasted asparagus recipe is a perfect example of how simple ingredients can come together to create a stunning and delicious side dish. The asparagus is roasted to tender-crisp perfection, and then tossed with a combination of Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, and freshly ground black pepper. The result is a dish that is both elegant and satisfying.
Roasting asparagus is a great way to bring out its natural sweetness. The high heat caramelizes the sugars in the asparagus, resulting in a deep, rich flavor. The addition of Parmesan cheese adds a touch of salty richness, while the lemon zest brightens up the flavor profile. This dish is a great accompaniment to any main course, or it can be enjoyed on its own as a light and healthy snack.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss the asparagus spears with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the asparagus in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Roast for 10-12 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and lemon zest. Serve immediately.
  4. Tips:
  5. For thicker asparagus spears, roast for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  6. If you don't have Parmesan cheese, you can substitute another hard Italian cheese, such as Pecorino Romano or Grana Padano.
  7. For a bit of extra flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the roasting asparagus.
  8. Leftover roasted asparagus can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
