Ingredients:
- 1 each bundle of green or white asparagus
- 1 Tbl lemon zest
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1 tsp kosher salt
Begin by creating the marinade. Simply place the olive oil, salt, and lemon zest in a plastic top sealed bag. Rinse the asparagus and marinate inside the bag for as little as 1 hour. You can marinade over night, this will intensify the flavor.
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees
On a baking sheet covered with aluminum foil place the asparagus. Make sure to arrange them evenly, and be sure not to over crowd them. Roast in the oven for 20-30 minutes.
Serves 4
YUM, this sounds like something i can cook!
Jane you can cook everything on here! What can I do to help?
I marinated the asparagus overnight and the flavor was awesome. Personally, I thought that 20-30 minutes of cook time was too much. They were roasted and brown, but slimey. I don’t do well with slimey asparagus. I will absolutely make this again, but will cut down the cook time to 15 minutes. Just my opinion! At that point they might still be a little crunchy and not as nicely browned, though… which would be disappointing. Again, the flavor was awesome.
