Lemon Sesame Roasted Asparagus

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. 2

   Cut bottom half inch off of asparagus to rid yourself of the typically hardened ends.

3. 3

   Optional, to avoid having that tough stringy end on your asparagus, peel the bottom inch to two inches with veggie peeler.

4. 4

   Place peeled asparagus, lemon juice, olive oil, kosher salt in bag or container and shake until they are evenly coated.

5. 5

   Place coated asparagus in baking dish (I use glass) and organize so they are laying flat.

6. 6

   Dust the asparagus ever so lightly with garlic powder.

7. 7

   Next, shake on some sesame seeds to your liking (Measurements are approximated).

8. 8

   Don't skip the sesame, it makes them so tasty.

9. 9

   Lastly, dust with Parmesan cheese and place in oven to bake for 20 to 25 minutes depending on how tender you like your asparagus.

    Enjoy!
