Make this easy Lime Dill Roasted Asparagus recipe as a simple side-dish, which is loaded with fresh flavors and packed with nutrition.
Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- Preheat the oven to 375F.
- Clean and trim the stem ends from the asparagus spears. Place in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
- Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the asparagus.
- 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.
- Sprinkle the lime zest, salt (optional), and black pepper over the asparagus.
- 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.
- Remove from oven, sprinkle with dill, and serve immediately.
- 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.
