  • Position a rack in the upper third of an oven and preheat to 450°F.
  • Snap off the tough stem ends from the asparagus spears and arrange the spears on a baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic and lemon zest.
  • Brush the asparagus evenly with the oil, turning the spears to coat well, and season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Arrange the lemon wedges around the asparagus.
  • Bake until the asparagus is tender and just turning golden, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Transfer the asparagus to a warmed serving platter and drizzle with the pan juices.

  1. Very good. Mine came out very lightly flavored of the garlic and the lemon. I would add even more next time. These looked gorgeous as I pulled them out of the oven - with the roasted lemon wedges scattered about the platter.
     
  2. Good asparagus! I cooked this on my gas grill on indirect heat and it came out perfect. The combination of olive oil, garlic and lemon made the asparagus really tasty. Don't leave out the lemon wedges, they add a lot to the 'sauce'. Thanks for the recipe Mimi!
     
  3. Excellent! I increased the garlic and lemon. Spectacular! Will definitely make again.
     
  4. Simple tasty recipe and so easy. We really enjoyed this recipe. The timing is just right - the asparagus still had some crunch
     
  5. Delicious. A lot of flavor for minimal work. Can't beat that.

Very busy nanny/au pair, working for a very rich and snooty family, in a very large home, in a very snooty village. Just in case my employer comes here, please don't ask where I am from, or I'll be sacked like the last nanny was. ;-) I take care of 4 gorgeous, and darling kids. 3 girls and a boy. The boy is the youngest (and my favorite). They are great children, very, very active. (Hyper) I love to cook. I guess that's a given, why else would I be here. Part of my job is also to prepare meals for the family. The more they like my food, the longer I get to stay. (just a little joke) On my day off, I usually go out to the cinema or some dance clubs with the other au pairs in this town. That's about it I think.
