Ingredients
- 1 lb asparagus
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 tsp kosher salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp lemon juice (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash the asparagus and trim off the woody ends. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over low heat. Add the rosemary sprigs and garlic cloves (lightly crushed but left whole) and allow them to infuse the oil for 3-5 minutes. Do not let the garlic burn. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 4
Place the asparagus on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the infused rosemary oil. Reserve the rest of the oil for later.
Step 5
Sprinkle the asparagus with kosher salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Toss to coat evenly, spreading the spears out into a single layer on the baking sheet.
Step 6
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the spears, until they are tender and have slightly crispy, golden edges.
Step 7
Remove the asparagus from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle with the remaining rosemary oil and add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy!
