THE BEST ROASTED ASPARAGUS



The Best Roasted Asparagus image

The perfect roasted asparagus should be lightly browned and tender, yet bright green and crisp. Roasting the spears at a high temperature helps achieve this. We also browned grated Parmesan to make a nutty, crumbly frico topping. Wait until ready to serve to top the vegetables so the crisped cheese stays crunchy.

Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound thin asparagus, trimmed
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (about 1 1/2 ounces)
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Juice of 1/4 lemon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a wire rack.
  • Put the asparagus, olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Toss to coat evenly. Spread the asparagus in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly browned and tender, but still bright green.
  • Meanwhile, spread the Parmesan evenly in the bottom of a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook undisturbed until the cheese melts, sticks together and turns golden brown, about 2 minutes, then flip with a rubber spatula and cook until golden on the second side, about 2 minutes more. Transfer the frico to a wire rack-lined baking sheet to cool completely, about 2 minutes. Break the frico into small crumbles and put in a small bowl. Add the lemon zest and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and toss to combine.
  • Transfer the roasted asparagus to a serving platter and squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the top. Top with the crumbled frico mixture.
