Roasted Asparagus with Buttery Lemon Breadcrumbs
Report
I like roasting asparagus at a high temperature because it yields a tender, not mushy, texture. To ensure maximum crispiness of the breadcrumb topping, add it to vegetables just before serving.

Ingredients
- 2 lbs asparagus ends trimmed (about 2 bunches)
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2/3 cups panko Japanese breadcrumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 1 Zest of 1 lemon
- 2 Tablespoons Chopped Parsley Leaves
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and place a rack in the top third of the oven.
- Arrange the asparagus on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle the oil over top. Season with lemon pepper and salt and toss with your hands, ensuring each spear is coated with oil.
- Spread the asparagus in a single layer and roast for 12-15 minutes or until the spears are tender and slightly blistered. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the stalks. Transfer to a serving platter.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a skillet set over medium heat. Add the panko and cook, stirring frequently, until the crumbs are golden brown and toasted, about 6-8 minutes. Stir in the salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Check the seasonings and adjust, if needed.
- Top the asparagus with the toasted breadcrumbs and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve with lemon wedges, if desire.
