When I was a kid, asparagus came from a jar, packed in liquid
And I thought I actually liked it… until I found fresh asparagus!
Add some fresh lemon zest and roast in the oven and this simple, healthy side can’t be beat!
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
Trim the woody ends off of your fresh asparagus
You only need to remove the bottom inch, inch and a half
Layer trimmed asparagus in a small sheet pan and zest one fresh lemon
Sprinkle the fresh lemon zest over the asparagus and drizzle with olive oil
Next, evenly coat the asparagus with the everyday seasoning of kosher salt, black pepper, garlic & onion powders
Now we’re ready to roast!
Roast in the oven for about 7 – 9 minutes until a sharp knife can easily pierce through
These are thin asparagus – thicker stalks might need an additional minute or two
With just a few ingredients and only a little effort, you now have a side worthy of co-starring in any meal!
Enjoy!
