Sharing is caring!

Best Ever Roasted Asparagus – the best side dish with asparagus that you can make in under 10 minutes. Infused with garlic, lemon and topped with Parmesan cheese this asparagus is irresistible!

Serve with chicken, pork or seafood for a quick last-minute side, just like my roasted carrots or the popular roasted Brussels sprouts!

One of my favorite Spring vegetables is hands-down asparagus. It’s so easy to prepare as a side dish and can be added to light pasta dishes. This roasted asparagus is truly the best ever! The addition of garlic, Parmesan and a zest of lemon makes it irresistible.

Ingredients:

• asparagus
• butter
• olive oil
• garlic
• lemon zest
• Parmesan cheese
• salt and pepper

Instructions:

• Start by trimming the ends of each asparagus spear. Simply snap the ends off or trim about 2 inches off the end. Wash the asparagus and pat dry with paper towels.
• Arrange asparagus on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Combine butter, olive oil, minced garlic, and lemon zest. Drizzle over asparagus and toss to coat.
• Sprinkle shredded Parmesan cheese on top.
• Roast for 8 to 10 minutes in the 400 degrees F oven. Serve.

Serving:

Roasted asparagus is a great side dish with chicken, pork or seafood. Serve it with my Garlic and Herb Chicken and Potatoes, my Instant Pot Whole Roasted Chicken, Garlic Parmesan Crusted Salmon or even the Garlic Butter Mushroom Pork Chops! You can also roast it cut into 2″ pieces, then toss with spinach, roasted potatoes, beans and tomatoes for a healthy and nutritious salad.

More roasted vegetables:

• Honey Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts
• Easy Oven Roasted Potatoes
• The Best Roasted Broccoli
• Baked Eggplant
