Orange and Almond Roasted Asparagus Recipe

Preheat oven to 500F.

Break the natural woody end of the asparagus off. If the asparagus is too thick, peel it from just below the tip.

Arrange asparagus on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and orange zest and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Place pan in oven and roast for 10-15 minutes tossing once until cooked through and slightly caramelized.

Meanwhile, toast almonds lightly in a saute pan over medium high heat to release the aroma.

When asparagus is done, toss with almonds and serve immediately.
