Oven Asparagus With Orange Zest and Garlic

Submitted by Margaret3

"I like to do the asparagus in the oven, as it takes no watching and i can avoid overcooking it more easily. I like to do this for weekend brunch with Bacon and Cheese Omelet (also an oven preparation) by ellie2 (#102568) and i throw in some of the potatoes i keep available frozen from my own recipe Herb Roasted Potatoes (#30210) Makes a pretty breakfast, too."

Great recipe! Mine took just 10 minutes in my convection oven. Great flavors. I did not add any salt, though, and I don't think it was missed. Was a nice addition to our Easter dinner.

The orange zest is a wonderful addition to the asparagus! I happened to be roasting another dish at 500 degrees and put the asparagus in for about 8 minutes. The asparagus was crisp but tender.

This is a great way to serve asparagus! Just loved the orange flavor with the garlic. Roasted mine for 10 minutes and it was perfect - thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for the Best of 2011 event, recommended by Mikekey
