A simple recipe for roasting asparagus and mushrooms coated in rich garlic butter until tender-crisp.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound asparagus, trimmed
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, halved or quartered
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Place the trimmed asparagus and prepared mushrooms on the baking sheet.
  4. Pour the garlic butter mixture evenly over the vegetables. Toss gently with your hands or tongs until everything is fully coated.
  5. Spread the vegetables into a single layer on the baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding.
  6. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the asparagus is bright green and tender-crisp and the mushrooms are lightly browned.
  7. Remove from the oven. If using, drizzle with fresh lemon juice before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, do not overlap the vegetables on the baking sheet; use two sheets if necessary to allow for proper roasting.
  • If you prefer softer asparagus, roast for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
  • You can substitute olive oil for half of the butter if you prefer a lighter coating.
