A ray of lemony sunshine will shine upon our Lemon Roasted Asparagus every time you serve it. That citrusy splash of flavor adds excitement to roasted asparagus for a healthy veggie go-along that tastes so good, they'll ask for seconds.
What You'll Need
- 2 pounds fresh asparagus, trimmed
- 1 1/2 tablespoon reduced-fat butter, melted (see Notes)
- 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 4 teaspoons grated lemon peel, divided
What to Do
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place asparagus in a 9" x 13" baking dish.
- In a small bowl, combine butter, lemon juice, and 2 teaspoons lemon peel; mix well and pour over asparagus. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until desired tenderness (see Notes).
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with remaining 2 teaspoons lemon peel. Serve immediately.
Notes
- If you prefer to make this a non-dairy dish, go ahead and substitute margarine for the butter.
- Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the asparagus. Very thin asparagus will cook much faster than very thick asparagus. And, of course, everybody likes it cooked to a different degree of doneness, so keep an eye on it!
