Roasted Asparagus

We love asparagus, but there’s only so many times you can have them boiled with a balsamic reduction so I’m always on the look out for other options. This recipe is super easy and you can’t go wrong with the flavors of rosemary and lemon.

1 bundle/bunch of asparagus

1 lemon

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Thinly slice half of lemon.

Prep asparagus shoots, and spread them along with the lemon slices and rosemary on a parchment lined baking sheet.

Toss all with olive oil, as well as salt and pepper.

Squeeze juice from remaining half of lemon.

Roast in oven for 7 minutes, then carefully turn asparagus over and continue roasting for another 8 minutes. Watch for preferred doneness. Add additional time if needed. Total roasting time should be between 15-20 minutes.
