Broiled Asparagus with Gremolata

<strong>Broiled Asparagus with Gremolata</strong>

I can eat asparagus prepared just about any way.  Broiled asparagus with a crunchy gremolata topping is one of my favorites.

Ingredients:

1 bunch asparagus

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil divided

¼ cup panko breadcrumbs

Zest from ½ lemon

1 garlic clove

1 teaspoon diced fresh parsley

Directions:

  1. Trim the ends off asparagus.  Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  2. Spread the asparagus out in an even layer and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  3. Broil on high 4-6 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile toast breadcrumbs, garlic, lemon zest, parsley, and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small skillet over low heat.
  5. Toss asparagus with topping and enjoy!
