This simple, savory side brings both tantalizing flavor and texture to the table with a cheesy crumb coating.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup breadcrumbs, toasted
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan
  • 2 tablespoons chopped thyme
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 2 pounds asparagus, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Preparation

Heat oven to 400°F.

Mix together all ingredients except asparagus and butter. Toss the asparagus in the melted butter to coat, then toss with about ¾ of the breadcrumb mixture. Lay on a lined baking sheet in a single layer and top with remaining breadcrumb mixture.

Roast in oven for 5–7 minutes, or until asparagus is just tender and breadcrumbs are browned. Serve immediately.
