Ingredients

  • 1 bunch asparagus trimmed
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Rinse and trim the woody ends of the asparagus.
  • Place the asparagus on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, or until tender but still slightly crisp.
  • Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle with lemon juice.
  • Finish with balsamic glaze and serve.

Notes

  • Thicker asparagus works best for roasting and has a better texture
  • Do not overcook the asparagus will become soft and dull
  • Add lemon zest for extra brightness
  • You can make your own balsamic glaze by simmering balsamic vinegar until reduced and thickened
