Ingredients

• 1 pound asparagus
• 4 whole scallions
• 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Rinse the asparagus under cold water and trim the woody ends (approximately 1-2 inches). Pat the asparagus dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

Thinly slice the scallions, including the white and green parts. Set aside.

Step 4

Drain the sun-dried tomatoes from their oil and roughly chop them into small pieces.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the asparagus, scallions, and sun-dried tomatoes. Drizzle the olive oil over the top and sprinkle in the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss all the ingredients until the asparagus is evenly coated.

Step 6

Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, arranging the asparagus in a single layer for even roasting.

Step 7

Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and slightly caramelized on the edges. Toss the vegetables halfway through cooking for even browning.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with lemon zest before serving. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Serve warm as a side dish or as a topping for salads or grain bowls.
