Lemon Rosemary Roasted Asparagus
We are BIG fans of anything lemon in recipes. So, coming up with a lemon-flavored dressing for roasted asparagus was a welcome and easy task.
Topped with a simple—but delicious—combination of Parmesan, kosher salt and pepper, our lemon rosemary roasted asparagus is quick and so easy to make. You’ll want to put it in your regular menu rotation for sure.
Asparagus stalks don’t ‘stir’ very well, so we use a flat plate instead of a bowl to coat the asparagus with olive oil. Drizzle oil onto the stalks and just toss them lightly with your fingers.
The 15-minute cook time for this recipe is for asparagus with a thin stalk. If you’re using a thicker version of the veggie, be sure to adjust the cook time accordingly.
