Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh asparagus
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Rinse the asparagus under cold water to clean it. Pat dry with a clean towel.
Step 3
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears, about 1 to 2 inches from the bottom.
Step 4
Place the asparagus on a large baking sheet in a single layer.
Step 5
In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a seasoned oil mixture.
Step 6
Drizzle the seasoned oil mixture evenly over the asparagus, ensuring all spears are lightly coated.
Step 7
Sprinkle the lemon zest over the top for a fresh, bright flavor.
Step 8
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until tender but slightly crisp, and the tips are lightly browned.
Step 9
If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the asparagus during the last 2 minutes of roasting for a melted, savory finish.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own.
