Description

Make this easy Lime Dill Roasted Asparagus recipe as a simple side-dish, which is loaded with fresh flavors and packed with nutrition.

Ingredients

• 1 bunch (about 10 ounces) fresh asparagus spears
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 lime
• ¼ teaspoon coarse salt (optional)
• ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill (or 2 teaspoons dried)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375F.
2. Clean and trim the stem ends from the asparagus spears. Place in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
3. Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the asparagus.
4. Zest the lime peel (finely shred outer surface of lime with a zester or microplane) and set aside. Squeeze the lime juice and drizzle it evenly over the asparagus.
5. Sprinkle the lime zest, salt (optional), and black pepper over the asparagus.
6. Place the asparagus in the top rack of the oven and roast about 15-25 minutes, until golden brown along edges yet still bright green in color.

   Cooking time is dependent upon the size of the asparagus spears.

7. Remove from oven, sprinkle with dill, and serve immediately.
8. Makes 4 servings.

Notes

Make this as an Air Fryer Asparagus recipe by following steps 1-7, using the tray of your air fryer instead of a baking dish (may have to separate into 2 batches, if needed). Set the temperature to 375 and roast for 7-9 minutes, until lightly golden yet still green in color.
