Roasted Asparagus

Oven roasting veggies gives them a lovely browned taste that you can't get through steaming. It also takes very little prep and cooking time.

Serves 4



1 bundle of asparagus
1 lemon, thinly sliced
extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper
parmesan cheese, optional

Preheat the oven to 350. Cut the ends off of the asparagus. Lay it out on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over all and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Gentle toss with your hands to distribute the oil, salt and pepper evenly. Lay the asparagus out in a single layer. Lay the lemon slices over the asparagus and bake for 10-12 minutes. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and serve.
