This is one of our favorite really easy Asparagus recipes!!
Lemon Roasted Asparagus with Goat Cheese and Garlic
Serves 6
What You'll Need:
1 bunch of asparagus spears-chopped in thirds
6 slices crusty french bread
About 1/3 cup soft goat cheese
3 cloves of garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
Juice from 1/2 lemon
Salt and pepper
What To Do:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place the top thirds of the asparagus (the part with the leafy detail!) in a casserole dish (this is the only portion of the asparagus you'll be using for this recipe, so save the rest for another dish!)
Chop garlic cloves in thirds and add to the casserole dish. Top with olive old, lemon, salt and pepper. Roast for about 20 minutes or until very fragrant and the veggies are soft.
2. Add bread to the oven (in separate dish than asparagus) and bake for another 5-6 minutes, or until golden brown. Top the bread with one tablespoon of goat cheese. Then layer each slice with three spears of asparagus, chopped garlic and additional salt and pepper.
This recipe is so delicious and SO easy! Try it and let us know how much you loved it!
