Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pounds asparagus trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons Zest Harmony Infused Olive Oil Blend
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sliced almonds

Equipment

  • 1 Sheet Pan Large enough to hold asparagus in a single layer
  • 1 Parchment paper For easy cleanup
  • 1 Mixing bowl For tossing the asparagus
  • 1 Microplane or zester For fresh lemon zest

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Place the asparagus on the prepared pan and drizzle with Zest Harmony Infused Olive Oil Blend, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the spears are evenly coated.
  3. Spread the asparagus in a single layer and roast for 12 to 15 minutes, until tender with lightly browned tips.
  4. Transfer the asparagus to a serving plate and finish with lemon juice, Parmesan, parsley, and toasted almonds.
  5. Serve warm right away for the best texture and brightest flavor.

Notes

Choose medium-thick asparagus spears so they hold their shape in the oven. If the spears are very thin, reduce the roast time by a few minutes. Keep the lemon juice for the end so the flavor stays bright.
