Bright, Bold, and Packed with Flavor: My Lemon-Parmesan Asparagus Recipe
Looking for a fresh take on classic lemon asparagus? This vibrant dish layers lemon zest in two stages—before and after roasting—for a mix of warm citrus depth and bright zing. A touch of garlic, a pinch of cayenne, and a generous snowfall of Parmesan bring savory heat and umami to the party.
It’s fast, flexible, and perfect for both weeknight dinners and spring-forward dinner parties. One important tip: peel those woody asparagus stems—you’ll end up with a far more tender, elegant bite.
