Ingredients

1 pound asparagus
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon zest
0.5 teaspoon sea salt
0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).

In a large mixing bowl, toss the asparagus spears with olive oil, chopped garlic, lemon zest, sea salt, and black pepper until well coated.

Arrange the asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 10-15 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and lightly browned. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
