Ingredients

• 1 lb Asparagus
• 8 oz Cremini mushrooms (sliced)
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 whole Lemon (zested and juiced)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (optional, grated)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Wash the asparagus and trim off the tough ends. Pat dry and place the stalks in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Wipe clean the cremini mushrooms and slice them into thick pieces. Add the sliced mushrooms to the bowl with the asparagus.

Step 4

Drizzle the asparagus and mushrooms with olive oil, and add minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the asparagus and mushrooms evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even roasting.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 15–20 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and slightly caramelized and the mushrooms are golden brown.

Step 7

Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven, and drizzle the roasted vegetables with fresh lemon juice for added brightness.

Step 8

Optional: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top before serving for an extra layer of flavor.

Step 9

Serve the roasted asparagus and mushrooms warm as a side dish or enjoy them on their own!
