Zesty Lemon Asparagus
Ingredients
  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
1
Position the oven rack approximately 6 inches away from the heat source and set the broiler to its highest temperature.
2
Place the asparagus on a baking sheet coated with oil and arrange it in an even, uniform layer. Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the asparagus to taste.
3
Place the asparagus under the preheated broiler and cook until it reaches a lightly browned color at its tips, approximately 15 minutes.
4
In the meantime, combine lemon juice, butter, a pinch of salt, and a few grinds of black pepper in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat the mixture in the microwave on high for about 1 minute, or until the butter is completely melted; stir to combine.
5
Pour the warm butter mixture over the broiled asparagus and toss gently to coat.
