    The flavor and texture of the roasted asparagus is amazing. I noticed that others would have liked a more pronounced lemon flavor, but I found the lemon zest mixed with the olive oil very pleasing and not overly lemon. Just enough lemon to let the nutty flavor come through. Thanks so much for this recipe. I have used it many times, always with great success.

    Very good. Mine came out very lightly flavored of the garlic and the lemon. I would add even more next time. These looked gorgeous as I pulled them out of the oven - with the roasted lemon wedges scattered about the platter.
