Perfect Asparagus Every Time

Tired of asparagus just not turning out the way you wanted? This fool proof method will come out delicious and perfect every time.

Yield: 1-2 Servings

Active Time: 5m

Total Time: 15m

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 lb asparagus, wood stems trimmed from the bottom (about 2 inches)

• 1 Tbsp olive oil

• Zest of one lemon

• 1⁄2 tsp kosher salt

• Black pepper

• Nutmeg, freshly grated (optional, but highly recommended—see note)

RECIPE:

1. Preheat oven to 500F

2. Line a small sheet pan with aluminum foil and lay down asparagus. Drizzle olive oil and roll asparagus around to coat.

3. Roast for five minutes, before giving a stir and roasting for five minutes more.

4. Once done, immediately top with salt, pepper, nutmeg, and lemon zest.

5. Enjoy on its own, or with a fried egg on top for breakfast!

HELPFUL NOTES:

I know it seems bizarre, but the nutmeg really is key here. When asparagus roasts it breaks

down into new chemicals with different flavors that work REALLY well with nutmeg. Sounds

weird but it’s science!
