8 servings

Ingredients

2 pounds fresh asparagus spears

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

¼ teaspoon salt, divided

⅛ teaspoon black pepper, divided

½ cup Panko or soft bread crumbs

½ cup plain dry bread crumbs

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

½ medium lemon, cut into wedges

Shaved Parmesan cheese, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°F. Snap off and discard woody bases from asparagus. Arrange asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of oil. Season with half of the salt and pepper.
In a medium bowl combine the two types of bread crumbs. Drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Stir in Parmesan cheese and remaining salt and pepper. Spoon crumb mixture over asparagus.
Roast for 15 minutes or until asparagus is crisp-tender and crumbs are golden brown. Transfer to a serving platter. Squeeze lemon over top before serving. If desired, garnish with shaved Parmesan cheese.
