Tasty and Healthy Side Dish: Roasted Asparagus

When we were at the store the other day, we were making up our dinner that night based on what looked good that day. After grabbing a steak to throw on the grill using the salt method (I'll blog about that later) we went looking for veggies and the asparagus looked awesome. I knew we had a ton of rosemary in our herb gardens that lasts all winter so I just made up the rest of this as I went.
 
 
 
 
Lemon-Rosemary Asparagus
  • 2 lbs. asparagus, woody ends trimmed
  • 1/2 one small yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 large garlic clove minced
  • 1 lemon, sliced very thin
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest from that lemon as well
  • 5 small springs rosemary, plus one tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 2 teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • a little black pepper and salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup shredded parmesan
  1. Preheat oven to 350.
  2. Toss the asparagus and onion with the oil, minced garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, lemon pepper, garlic salt, salt and pepper and lemon zest.
  3. Place in baking dish. Top with sprigs of rosemary and sliced lemons.
  4. Bake for about 25 minutes or until asparagus gets tender.
  5. Shut off the oven. Top with parmesan and put back in oven for a couple of minutes so it melts.
**Makes about 4 servings.
