Ingredients

  • 1 pound Asparagus, ends removed
  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest, finely grated
  • 1 teaspoon Flaky sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/8 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  2. Snap off the woody ends from the asparagus. Then place the asparagus on the baking sheet. 
  3. Drizzle the asparagus with olive oil, then sprinkle with lemon zest, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss well to coat, then arrange the asparagus into a single layer on the sheet pan. 
  4. Bake for 9 to 10 minutes, or just until tender. 
  5. Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle with lemon juice and then sprinkle with parmesan. Serve at once! 

Notes

  • If your oven runs hot, preheat to 400 degrees (F).
  • If you prefer not to bake at high heat with olive oil, a neutral high-heat friendly cooking oil may be used instead.
