Lemon Lovers' Asparagus
Roast whole slices of lemon along with the asparagus for a beautiful look and sparkling, bright taste. Great with seafood, especially salmon or scallops
.
Ingredients:
2 bunches asparagus, tough ends trimmed
2 lemons, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano, or 1 teaspoon dried
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Toss asparagus, lemon slices, oil, oregano, salt and pepper on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast, shaking the pan occasionally to toss, until the asparagus is tender-crisp, 13 to 15 minutes.

Re: Lemon Lovers' Asparagus
Thanks for the recipe, MaryJ. My DH says that I like Asparagus like he likes fried potatoes. Watercress and Asparagus have to be at the top of my green veggie list. JF
