A delightful roasted asparagus dish enhanced with garlic, lemon, and feta cheese, perfect for a quick and flavorful side.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the perfect texture for your asparagus.
In a small pan over low heat, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Heat gently until the garlic is golden and the oil is aromatic, then remove from heat and let it cool.
Infusing the oil with garlic and spices enhances the flavor of the asparagus.
Snap the tough ends off the asparagus by bending them until they naturally break.
This method ensures you only use the tender part of the asparagus.
Toss the asparagus with the infused oil until evenly coated, then arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Arranging in a single layer ensures even roasting.
Season the asparagus with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese.
Adding the feta before roasting allows it to slightly melt and enhance the dish.
Roast in the preheated oven for 12 minutes or until the asparagus is tender and slightly caramelized.
Keep an eye on the asparagus to prevent overcooking.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the asparagus before serving.
Adding fresh parsley and lemon juice brightens the flavors of the dish.
