Asparagus with Dijon Mustard [0000701]

Ingredients:

1 bunch asparagus, tough ends trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a smooth dressing.

Place the trimmed asparagus spears in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Drizzle the Dijon mustard dressing over the asparagus, making sure each spear is coated evenly.

Use your hands or a utensil to toss the asparagus gently, ensuring they're well coated with the dressing.

Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until they're tender but still crisp and have developed a slight char on the tips.

Optional: During the last few minutes of roasting, you can sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the asparagus for an extra layer of flavor.

Once the asparagus is cooked to your liking, remove the baking sheet from the oven.

Transfer the roasted asparagus to a serving dish.

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
