Ingredients
- 500 grams Asparagus
- 1 Red bell pepper
- 1 Yellow bell pepper
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Wash and trim the tough ends off the asparagus. Slice the red and yellow bell peppers into thin strips, discarding the seeds and stems.
Step 3
Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine the asparagus and bell pepper slices. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the vegetables evenly.
Step 5
Spread the vegetable mixture out evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer for even roasting.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 12-15 minutes or until the asparagus is tender but still crisp, and the bell peppers are slightly caramelized.
Step 7
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the roasted vegetables with the grated Parmesan cheese and lemon zest for a fresh, zesty finish.
Step 8
Transfer the Parmesan asparagus and bell peppers to a serving plate and serve warm.
