Instructions
For roasted asparagus:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Snap or cut off the ends of the asparagus.
- In a large bowl or container combine the asparagus and olive oil. Toss until all the pieces of asparagus are coated well.
- Transfer asparagus to sheet pan and spread out in one even layer.
- Place in oven and cook for between 10 to 14 minutes, depending on how well done you like your asparagus.
- Remove from oven and set aside until butter is ready.
For the Lemon, Garlic, Shallot Butter:
- I typically start my butter while the asparagus is in the oven so it times out well and everything is hot when served.
- In a medium pan combine the olive oil and lemon juice. Start to cook over medium heat. Add shallots and cook for a few minutes, just until the start to turn golden brown, but aren't crisp yet. Add butter, stirring as it melts. Add garlic, cook 1 minute more. Remove pan from heat and pour over asparagus.
- Garnish with lemon slices if desired.
