Notes: When fresh garlic shoots are available, the Pences cook them the same way.
How to Make It
Step 1
Rinse asparagus; snap off tough stem ends and discard. Spread asparagus in a 10- by 15-inch baking pan. Drizzle with plain olive oil, then shake pan lightly to coat asparagus. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Bake in a 400° oven until asparagus is tender-crisp to bite, 9 to 10 minutes.
Step 3
Transfer to a platter. Sprinkle with lemon peel; drizzle with lemon-flavored oil. Serve warm or at room temperature.
