Roasted Asparagus with Lemony Bread Crumbs

Ingredients

  • 2 lb asparagus
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • kosher salt
  • freshly ground pepper
  • 7 anchovy fillet in oil, drained and chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup panko bread crumb
  • 1 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 2 tsp lemon zest
  • juice of one lemon, for drizzling

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°. On a baking sheet, toss the asparagus with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, turning once, until golden and tender.
  2. Meanwhile, in a small skillet, simmer the remaining 1/3 cup of olive oil with the anchovies over moderate heat, stirring, until the anchovies dissolve. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the panko and cook, stirring frequently, until golden and crispy, about 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley and lemon zest.
  3. Transfer the roasted asparagus to a serving platter. Drizzle with lemon juice, top with the panko and serve.
