Ingredients

  • 1 pound asparagus trimmed
  • 2 to 3 tsp avocado oil
  • ¼ tsp salt sea salt
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • 3 to 4 Tbsp Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
  • lemon zest of 1

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Trim the tough ends of the asparagus by cutting the hard, woody ends off using a knife (or break the ends off with your hands), and discard.
  3. Spread the asparagus spears into a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with avocado oil. Use your hands to rub the oil all over the asparagus to ensure all of the spears have a light coat of oil. Sprinkle the asparagus with sea salt and garlic powder.
  4. Roast asparagus on the center rack of the preheated oven for 10 to 20 minutes - bake for 10 to 15 minutes for the thin asparagus spears and 15 to 20 minutes for the thicker spears of asparagus - or until the asparagus has reached your desired level of done-ness.
  5. Remove the large sheet pan of asparagus from the oven and immediately sprinkle it with parmesan cheese, lemon zest, and freshly ground black pepper. 
  6. Serve the garlic lemon parmesan roasted asparagus alongside your main course with fresh lemon wedges and enjoy!

Notes

  • For an even bigger citrus flavor, drizzle 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice over the asparagus when it is fresh out of the oven.
  • Store any leftover roasted asparagus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
