Your asparagus will be soft inside, but delightfully golden and crispy on the outside. Oven roasted asparagus perfection!

SERVING LEMON GARLIC ASPARAGUS 

This is a side dish best served fresh. It鈥檚 really good all on its own as a light meal or snack, or with your favorite grilled meat.

If there happens to be any leftovers, they鈥檒l keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days. The best way to reheat them is to bake them or stick them on a skillet. You can microwave them, but they won鈥檛 be crispy at all.

    1. I would think so; definitely worth trying! I’ve used grated Romano. It’s not the same, but it still tasted good.
