Ingredients
- 1½ pounds asparagus trimmed
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic chopped
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons pine nuts
- ¼ cup feta cheese crumbles
- 1 teaspoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- PREHEAT OVEN TO 450˚ . Toss the asparagus with garlic, oil, ⅛ teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a large baking sheet with sides. Roast, turning one to two times, until the asparagus is tender-crisp, 10 to 15 minutes.
- WHILE THE ASPARAGUS IS ROASTING, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Place pine nuts in the skillet and cook until golden and fragrant, tossing often to avoid burning. Remove the nuts from heat and set aside.
- When the asparagus has finished cooking, transfer to your serving plate and then top with feta, pine nuts, lemon juice and additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.
