Parmesan Asparagus

Ingredients

  • 1 lb asparagus, washed and trimmed

  • 1½ tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • ½ cup plain panko breadcrumbs

  • 1/3 cup finely grated parmigiano reggiano, plus more for serving

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Add 1 pound of trimmed asparagus to the baking sheet. Drizzle with 1½ tablespoons olive oil and season with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Toss to coat and spread the asparagus into a single layer.

  3. In a small bowl, combine ½ cup panko breadcrumbs, 1/3 cup finely grated parmigiano reggiano, 1 clove of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Stir until the breadcrumb mixture is evenly combined.

  4. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the asparagus in an even layer.

  5. Roast at 425°F for 12-15 minutes, until the asparagus is fork tender and the breadcrumb topping is golden.

  6. Remove the pan from the oven and finish with 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice.
