Lemon Parmesan Roasted Asparagus is the perfect recipe to introduce fresh spring asparagus into your menu!
One of my very favorite veggies is asparagus – I love the flavor, the texture, and I feel like it is really really easy to use in dishes OR by its lonesome. I don’t feel that way about all vegetables. Come springtime, I buy asparagus weekly and use it 2-3 times during the week either in pastas and salads, or by itself as a side dish. I’m sharing my favorite go-to lemon parmesan roasted asparagus recipe for busy weeknights – and even better, it only takes 5 minutes of prep and pairs with just about any entree!

Lemon-Parmesan Asparagus is the perfect recipe to introduce fresh spring asparagus into your menu. Top fresh asparagus with butter, garlic and parmesan cheese before roasting for a tender and full-flavored vegetable side.

Jack- thanks for your feedback! I am super excited to hear that you have tried and loved several recipes here!!
Delicious recipes!
I love this dish! I’ll often leave the garlic powder out, depending on what I’m serving it with, and I prefer to add the parmesan, along with an extra spritz of lemon, immediately before serving. When it’s in season, asparagus is a three times a week treat for me too.
So easy to make, and delicious!!
