Ingredients
1
bundle
fresh asparagus (1lb or 454 g)
1
Tbsp
canola oil
1
tsp
salt
1/2
tsp
black pepper
1
Tbsp
lemon zest

Tbsp
fresh grated Parmesan or nutritional yeast
pinch
hot pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F/204°C.
Snap woody ends off each asparagus spear, wash and pat dry.
Coat asparagus evenly with oil and season with salt and pepper.
Lay out on baking sheet being sure to leave space around each spear so it will bake not steam.
Bake for 8 to 12 minutes depending on size of asparagus spears, the thicker the longer they'll take.
Remove from oven and sprinkle with lemon zest, Parmesan cheese and hot pepper flakes or your favourite toppings. Serve right away.

Notes
Oven roasted asparagus does not freeze well and will turn limp if reheated in microwave. For best results, quickly and briefly reheat in a hot fry pan.
As an alternative we use
lemon herb seasoning
,
lemon pepper finishing salt
, nutritional yeast, butter or
chili lime finishing salt
