Ingredients
- 1 small lemon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 medium garlic cloves, grated on a Microplane grater (1 teaspoon)
- 2 bunches fresh asparagus, about 1/3 to 1/2-inch in diameter, trimmed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped mixed fresh tender herbs (such as basil, tarragon, and flat-leaf parsley)
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 200°C. Grate the zest of lemon into a small bowl; stir in oil and garlic. Cut the ends off the lemon and discard. Slice lemon into thin rounds. Toss together asparagus, lemon slices, and oil mixture on a large-rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss to evenly coat. Spread out in an even layer on a baking sheet. Bake asparagus for 8 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, mash together butter and cheese in a small bowl until combined.
-
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Spoon the butter mixture evenly over the asparagus. Toss using tongs until evenly coated and the mixture forms creamy sauce; spread in an even layer. Return asparagus to oven and bake until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer asparagus to a serving platter. Spoon the butter mixture from the baking sheet over the asparagus. Sprinkle with herbs.
