A ray of lemony sunshine will shine upon our Lemon Roasted Asparagus every time you serve it. That citrusy splash of flavor adds excitement to roasted asparagus for a healthy veggie go-along that tastes so good, they'll ask for seconds.

What You'll Need:
• 2 pounds fresh asparagus, trimmed
• 1-1/2 tablespoon reduced-fat butter, melted (see Notes)
• 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 4 teaspoons grated lemon peel, divided

What To Do:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place asparagus in a 9" x 13" baking dish.

2. In a small bowl, combine butter, lemon juice, and 2 teaspoons lemon peel; mix well and pour over asparagus. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until desired tenderness (see Notes).

3. Remove from oven and sprinkle with remaining 2 teaspoons lemon peel. Serve immediately.


Notes:
• If you prefer to make this a non-dairy dish, go ahead and substitute margarine for the butter.

• Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the asparagus. Very thin asparagus will cook much faster than very thick asparagus. And, of course, everybody likes it cooked to a different degree of doneness, so keep an eye on it!
