Notes
- Make this roasted asparagus recipe a little more indulgent by by sprinkling over grated Parmesan just before serving.
- You could also add some fresh crushed garlic before roasting.
- You can prepare it in advance by mixing everything together, putting it on a baking tray and keeping it in the fridge until it is ready to go in the oven.
- For a little bit of spice, you can sprinkle this lemon asparagus with some red chilli flakes before serving.
- Put the asparagus in a single layer on the baking tray so it can get nice and crispy. If they are too close together, then everything will just steam.
