I hope you all had a great weekend! For the Moms, hope you all had a great day! My wee one turned 12 on Saturday! When she was born, she came home on Mother’s Day, which was my greatest gift, ever! She is my baby and I can’t get over how fast it goes! We had a small family gathering and we had her favorites:
Baked Parmesan Chicken Tenders Honey Mustard Sauce
Detox Blueberry Lemon Ginger Iced Tea
Yum! For the record, we had the Greek Salad minus the Chicken, super delicious. For dessert, Deirdre wanted vanilla cupcakes with a raspberry buttercream frosting. They were eaten so fast, I never got a photo, so I have to make them again and share the recipe! Oh the problems I have to endure! This is one of those comfort meals that my whole family loves!
Tips to make Roasted Asparagus with Lemon and Garlic:
- It takes about 5 minutes to prepare and 10 minutes in a 400 degree oven!
- If using large asparagi, peel the the stalks with a vegetable peeler, reduces toughness.
- Thin asparagus, no need to peel.
- If using White Asparagus, peel them as they are usually thick and peeling reduces toughness.
Awesome menu picks by my sweet Deirdre! We have a tradition for the kids during birthday week, they get to pick their favorite meals to eat during their birthday week! One of her favorite side dishes is Roasted Asparagus with Lemon and Garlic! So super easy to prepare ! ! Such a tasty side dish. The lemon adds a perfect amount of flavor to compliment the asparagus. Then there is the garlic, I need say nothing more! I think I need a snack right now!
I love that roasted asparagus with lemon and garlic is a great accompaniment to any dish, whether it be a weeknight dinner and always perfect for guests! So versatile and so many ways to prepare asparagus!

I am not a fan of asparagus, but honestly seeing your pictures and reading your recipe makes me want to try this one!!! Also, I think it’s so cool that your daughter came home ON mother’s day! What a gift.
Aw, thank you Jen! I know not everyone loves certain veggies. I am glad this got you thinking of giving asparagus another go. I hope you love it this time
This is the perfect way to prepare asparagus in my opinion! Simple and fresh. It’s perfect as a side dish for any meal!
Thank you Nicole. It is my favorite way too!
PERFECT combo for asparagus. I’m guilty of munching on my asparagus before it ever hits the sheet pan… so if I have any leftover, I’ll be making this!
I love asparagus too! So delicious!
I am so happy I saw this post because it reminded me of how much I LOVE asparagus, but how long it has been since I have had it! I need to pick up some asparagus, lemon, and garlic ASAP to fix this asparagus drought I am having!!
I am happy to give you a reminder to eat your asparagus! I hope it is on sale for you because it is at my grocer!
You know sometimes the simple things are so delicious. We love asparagus…and roasting it is the best way. Perfect side dish for so many recipes.
I so agree Gloria, simple yet so tasty and versatile!
Mmmmm yes yes YES!! I love asparagus and adding the lemon will just make it even better. My new puppy loves asparagus too. Maybe I will share one or two spears with him ?

This sounds delicious! I love asparagus, and it’s super good when my husband BBQs it. I think adding lemon and garlic would put my favorite veggie over the top!

This is my favorite side to make! So quick and easy, yet filled with flavor! YUM!
I agree, love asparagus
This sounds absolutely amazing! Asparagus and lemon are two of my very favorite things. It just makes sense for it to be together.
Looks good! We prepare our asparagus In a similar way but toss it right on the grill.
Sounds great!
You’re going to laugh, I think, but the ONE time I had asparagus, my brother-in-law said he wanted to treat us to a special meal. He was excited about getting a new smoker. I LOVE smoked fish, cheese, sausages … oh, yea. So he was going to smoke asparagus and chicken breasts. Sounds good, right?
He used spruce sticks from his back yard. Spruce. I was six months pregnant and gagged down overly-smokey, spruce-flavoured asparagus and chicken, or as much as I could stomach.
It’s been almost nine years …. I really should get up the courage to try asparagus that hasn’t been smoked in spruce, right? Lemon and garlic sound absolutely perfect!
That is funny! Let me know when you try again…missing out on yumminess
I love asparagus but my kids don’t so I don’t tend to buy it too often because I’ll be the only one eating it. I make something like this and it’s absolutely delish! I’m sure this is too!
Thank you and I agree, kids are so different and they change their favorites often
oooh this looks delicious! I love asparagus, and garlic/lemon too so this is perfect! I’ve never roasted asparagus but I’m going to try it now, thanks for sharing
Roasting it is delicious
Oooooh – I really love asparagus and this looks really tasty! I bet this would be such a great side dish to bring to a summer party!
