  • Total Time: 12 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Asparagus and Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pound asparagus, trimmed

Topping

  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Flaky sea salt to serve

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425 degrees F to ensure a hot environment that will roast the asparagus quickly and evenly.
  2. Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, kosher salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful marinade for the asparagus.
  3. Toss the asparagus: Place the trimmed asparagus spears on a baking sheet and coat them thoroughly with the olive oil and lemon mixture. Spread the spears out in a single layer to promote even roasting.
  4. Add breadcrumb topping: In a separate bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the asparagus on the baking sheet.
  5. Roast: Bake the asparagus in the preheated oven for 7 minutes. The spears should turn a vibrant bright green while remaining crisp-tender.
  6. Finish and serve: Once removed from the oven, lightly sprinkle flaky sea salt over the asparagus before serving to add texture and enhance the flavor.

Notes

  • Make sure to trim the woody ends of the asparagus for the best texture.
  • You can substitute Parmesan with Pecorino Romano for a sharper flavor.
  • Panko breadcrumbs help add a crunchy texture; regular breadcrumbs can be used but results may vary.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the crispiness of the topping.
  • Adjust garlic quantity based on your personal preference for pungency.
