Asparagus and Carrots (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 tablespoon olive oil

02 - 3 large carrots, cut into thin, long strips about the size of the asparagus

03 - 1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed

04 - 2 teaspoons lemon zest, or more if you'd like

05 - Salt, as much as you'd like

06 - Fresh ground black pepper, to your taste

07 - ½ cup crumbled goat cheese

# Instructions:

01 - Turn your oven on to 400°F and get a parchment-lined baking sheet ready. Lay out the carrots and asparagus in a single layer on the sheet.

02 - Add a drizzle of olive oil and toss everything around so it’s all coated evenly. Sprinkle some salt and black pepper on top. Bake for 20–25 minutes until soft and a bit browned.

03 - While it’s still warm, sprinkle the lemon zest and goat cheese over the veggies and serve it up.

# Notes:

01 - Go for thin asparagus spears so they cook evenly and don’t end up soggy.

02 - Mix up the flavors if you want—parmesan cheese and some chopped almonds make a great addition too.
