Description

This Flavorful Asparagus Zucchini Squash recipe is a simple, healthy, and delicious vegetable side dish that brings fresh and vibrant flavors to your table. Roasted to perfection with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper, and finished with a drizzle of lemon juice, it’s a perfect accompaniment for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed
  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced

Seasonings and Oil

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure a hot environment for roasting the vegetables evenly and quickly.
  2. Prepare the Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the trimmed asparagus and sliced zucchini, making sure they are clean and cut to similar sizes for even cooking.
  3. Season the Vegetables: Add the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Toss everything together thoroughly until the vegetables are well coated with the olive oil and seasoning.
  4. Arrange for Roasting: Spread the seasoned asparagus and zucchini evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer to allow for proper roasting and caramelization.
  5. Roast the Vegetables: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly browned, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
  6. Finish with Lemon Juice: Once roasted, remove the vegetables from the oven and drizzle with lemon juice to add brightness and a burst of fresh flavor before serving.

Notes

  • Trim the woody ends off the asparagus for better texture.
  • Use fresh garlic to maximize flavor.
  • You can substitute lemon juice with balsamic vinegar for a different tang.
  • Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
  • Optionally, sprinkle with grated Parmesan or fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for extra flavor.
