Foil-Baked Asparagus w/ Parmesan & Thyme

Food

Ingredients

2 lbs asparagus, trimmed

4 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

1 shallot, minced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 ½ tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1 tsp lemon zest

1-2 tsp lemon juice

2 tsp fresh thyme, chopped

1/4 cup (28g) Parmesan cheese, shredded

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, making sure there’s total coverage off all edges.

Arrange asparagus in center of foil running parallel to the short side of the sheet. Sprinkle the butter, shallot, garlic, salt, pepper & lemon zest evenly over the asparagus.

Place a second sheet of foil over the asparagus. Starting with one edge, pinch the sheets together and fold in toward center by ½ inch. Repeat folding 1-2 times to create a tight seal. Fold remaining three edges to create a sealed packet.

Bake 18 min, then remove sheet and let sit 5 min to continue to steam.

Carefully cut open the top of the packet, folding foil back. Sprinkle asparagus with the lemon juice, thyme & Parmesan, tossing gently with tongs to combine.
