Posted in Vegetable Recipes Tell-a-Friend
The perfect roasted asparagus is slightly browned on the outside, with a vibrant green colour, and has just the slightest bit of bite when eaten. This roasted asparagus recipe, with olive oil, salt, and lemon zest, is lively and full of complex flavour notes.
Ingredients
1 bunch asparagus
30 ml olive oil
30 ml lemon zest
2 ml salt
15 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
Method
Preheat the oven to 200°C
Wash and break the ends off the asparagus — if your spears are large, you should also peel them
Arrange with plenty of space on a baking sheet
Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with zest and salt
Give the baking sheet a few shakes, and place into oven
Cook for approximately 20 minutes giving the baking sheet a good shake halfway though
Asparagus are done when the edges are lightly browned, and the spears are a vivid green
Taste one to make sure it is cooked through – due to fluctuations in asparagus size, cooking times will vary
Drizzle lemon juice over spears and serve immediately.
