HOW TO TRIM ASPARAGUS

Not sure how exactly to prepare and trim your asparagus? It’s really easy…don’t stress it.

Here’s a quick video to help:

Be sure to lay it out on a paper towel or absorbent cloth to get rid of excess moisture.

SEASON YOUR LEMON GARLIC ASPARAGUS

Now it’s time to get the flavors working together!

Combine salt, pepper, olive oil, parmesan, and the asparagus in a zippered bag. Squeeze the lemon top of it all and then seal.

Gently massage the marinade into the asparagus or turn the bag to thoroughly coat it all.

PERFECTLY OVEN ROASTED ASPARAGUS

Spread your marinated asparagus onto an uncreased baking sheet (this baking sheet is my fave!) and cook at 350 for around 12 minutes.

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’s 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’ll 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’t be crispy at all.
