Perfectly roasted asparagus should be lightly golden and tender, yet still juicy and bright green. This can be achieved by roasting it at a high temperature. Choose asparagus that is thin and of roughly equal thickness. A fun topping is frico, simple Italian Parmesan crisps, sprinkled over the asparagus just before serving. Add lemon zest and sauce for a brighter flavor, and you've got a delicious side dish for your holiday dinner.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Preheat oven to 220°C. Place a rack on a baking sheet.
- In a medium bowl, combine the asparagus, olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Arrange the asparagus in a single layer on the prepared rack on a baking sheet. Roast for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown and tender but still bright green.
- Meanwhile, spread the Parmesan cheese evenly over the bottom of a medium nonstick skillet. Cook, undisturbed, over medium heat until the cheese is melted, clinging, and golden, about 2 minutes. Then flip with a rubber spatula and cook until golden on the other side, about 2 more minutes. Transfer the frico to a wire rack set on the baking sheet to cool completely, about 2 minutes more.
- Break the frico into small crumbs and place in a small bowl. Add the lemon zest and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper and stir.
- Transfer the roasted asparagus to a serving platter and drizzle with lemon juice. Sprinkle with the frico mixture.
