    1-1/2 lbs (750 g) asparagus spears, trimmed
    2 tbsp (30 mL) butter, softened
    1 clove garlic, minced
    1/2 tsp (2 mL) grated lemon zest
    1/4 tsp (1 mL) pepper
    pinch salt
    1 cup (250 mL) coarse fresh bread crumbs
    1 cup (250 mL) shredded Canadian Swiss, old Cheddar or Gouda cheese
    2 tbsp (30 mL) freshly squeezed lemon juice

Preparation:

Prep time:  10 min • Cook time: 20 min

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

Spread asparagus evenly in a 13 x 9-inch (3 L) glass baking dish.

In a small bowl, mash together butter, garlic, lemon zest, pepper and salt.

Drop in small dots over asparagus spears in a baking dish. Roast for about 15 minutes shaking dish halfway to coat asparagus in butter, or until asparagus is just tender-crisp and starting to brown.

Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine bread crumbs, cheese and lemon juice; sprinkle over asparagus and bake for about 3 minutes or until cheese is melted. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes or until golden brown.

Additional Information

  • Tip: In place of asparagus, substitute 6 cups (1.5 L) broccoli and/or cauliflower florets or 1 lb (500 g) trimmed green beans. Increase roasting time in step 2 to 25 minutes.
