- 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, cleaned and halved or quartered
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and minced garlic. Mix well.
- Place the trimmed asparagus and prepared mushrooms on the baking sheet.
- Pour the garlic butter mixture evenly over the vegetables. Toss gently with your hands or tongs until everything is coated.
- Spread the vegetables into a single layer on the baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary for proper roasting.
- Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the vegetables.
- Roast for 12 to 15 minutes. The asparagus should be bright green and tender-crisp, and the mushrooms should be lightly browned.
- Remove from the oven. If using, drizzle with fresh lemon juice before serving.
Notes
- For the best results, ensure the vegetables are in a single layer so they roast instead of steam.
- You can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter mixture for a little heat.
- If your asparagus spears are very thin, reduce the roasting time by 2-3 minutes.
