The lemon glazed asparagus was a bit too tart for my taste. I think next time I'll use less lemon juice.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great. The asparagus is always tender and flavorful, and the lemon glaze is the perfect finishing touch.

This lemon glazed asparagus was a hit at my last dinner party! The asparagus was perfectly cooked and the lemon glaze added a bright and tangy flavor. I will definitely be making this again.
