Ingredients For Lemon Asparagus
Made in minutes, lemon asparagus is a delicious twist on a traditional roasted asparagus recipe. You can serve it as a side or add it to pasta or risotto. Asparagus – Choose deep green, firm stalks with light green or purplish tips. Thicker spears are preferred as they will caramelize more without overcooking. Oil – Butter, ghee, or leftover bacon grease can be used instead of olive oil if desired. Seasonings – Add more or less garlic to taste or sprinkle in a dash of lemon pepper. Lemon – This recipe uses a fresh lemon as you’ll need both the zest and juice. I highly recommend using freshly squeezed lemon juice for this recipe.
How to Make Lemon Asparagus
Thick Spears: 8-12 minutes at 425°F Thin Spears: 5-7 minutes at 425°F
Serve lemon asparagus hot or cold! It’s perfect over chilled salmon for brunch, or dip them into a creamy cheese or homemade Hollandaise sauce.
Storing Leftovers
Leftover lemon asparagus can be stored in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in a dry saute pan or add to chilled salads, fold into omelets or frittatas or stir it into pasta.
