Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400F
Hold one spear of asparagus in your hand, and with your fingers snap off the rough end. Note where it naturally breaks. Use this as a guide to trim the remaining asparagus, laying it next to the others. Cut the remaining spears to match this length.
Toss the trimmed asparagus in a bowl with olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, salt & pepper.
Lay spears out in a single layer on a parchment-lined sheet pan.
Roast until just tender (yet still vibrant green), about 15-25 minutes, depending on size and thickness, tossing halfway through.
Once tender squeeze with lemon juice, and give a good toss. Taste for salt, adding more if needed.
Place in a serving dish and garnish with any of the optional garnishes.
