Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Broiled Lemon Asparagus.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven's broiler, positioning the rack about six inches from the heat source for optimal cooking.
Step 2
On a baking sheet, generously coat the trimmed asparagus with vegetable oil, ensuring each spear is well-covered.
Step 3
Season them with a sprinkle of salt and a dash of black pepper to enhance their natural flavor.
Step 4
Slide the baking sheet under the broiler and let the asparagus roast for approximately 15 minutes, watching for the tips to turn a delightful golden brown.
Step 5
While the asparagus is broiling, take a microwave-safe bowl and combine fresh lemon juice, butter, one teaspoon of salt, and one teaspoon of black pepper.
Step 6
Heat this mixture in the microwave on high for about one minute, or until the butter is completely melted, then stir to create a harmonious blend.
Step 7
Once the asparagus is perfectly cooked, remove it from the oven and drizzle the zesty lemon butter over the top.

Gently toss the asparagus to ensure each piece is beautifully coated, ready to be served as a vibrant side dish that elevates any meal.
