Roasted Garlic Asparagus with Feta

Our roasted garlic asparagus with feta is tossed in a garlic lemon marinade and roasted to caramelize flavors in the asparagus then topped with feta!

📝 Ingredients

• 2 pounds fresh asparagus (trimmed)
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 4-6 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• salt (to taste)
• black pepper (to taste)
• 1/2 cup feta cheese (crumbled)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil (1/4 cup), garlic (4-6 cloves), lemon zest (1 teaspoon), oregano (1 teaspoon), and red pepper flakes (1/4 teaspoon) over low heat just until the garlic starts to become golden. Remove pan from heat and cool for about 10 minutes. (Garlic will continue to brown a bit more)
2. 2Preheat oven to 425ºF (218ºC).
3. 3On a rimmed baking sheet, toss asparagus(2 pounds) with infused oil until well coated. Arrange asparagus into a single layer, using a second baking sheet if necessary. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss feta (1/2 cup) evenly over the asparagus.
4. 4Roast asparagus in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until it reaches the desired tenderness.
5. 5Cut lemon in half, and squeeze lemon over asparagus and serve.
