Conclusion:
Roasted asparagus with lemon and goat cheese is an easy and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed with variety of main courses. It is also a healthy choice, as asparagus is an excellent source of vitamins K, A, and C, as well as fiber. With just a few simple steps, you can have a delicious and nutritious dish that will impress your family and friends. Make sure the asparagus spears are thick and uniform in size, so that they cook evenly. Toss the asparagus in the marinade until it is well coated. This will help the asparagus to brown and caramelize in the oven. Roast the asparagus in a single layer on a foil-lined sheet pan, so that the heat can circulate evenly. Stir the asparagus halfway through roasting to ensure that it cooks evenly and add the goat and the parsley.
