Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Arrange asparagus on a rimmed baking sheet, and drizzle with oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Roast until tender, 18 to 20 minutes, then transfer to a platter.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add panko, and cook, stirring frequently, until deep golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in lemon juice and zest. Season with salt.
- Top asparagus with breadcrumbs, and garnish with lemon.
PARMESAN ROASTED ASPARAGUS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- If the stalks of the asparagus are thick, peel the bottom 1/2 of each. Lay them in a single layer on a sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and return to the oven for another minute. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 500 degrees; while it heats, put bread in, and check frequently until it is lightly toasted and dry. Coarsely grind or grate bread and cheese together (a small food processor is best), and keep crumbs larger than commercial bread crumbs.
- Rinse asparagus, and break off woody bottoms. Lay stalks in a baking dish that will hold them in two or three layers. Toss with bits of butter or the oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and place in oven.
- Roast 5 minutes, then shake dish to redistribute butter or oil. Roast 5 minutes more, then test for doneness by piercing a spear with point of a sharp knife; it should slide in but meet a little resistance. (Up to this point, the recipe can be made as much as two hours before serving; just leave asparagus at room temperature).
- Turn on broiler and place rack as close as possible to heating element. Top asparagus with cheese-crumb mixture and run under broiler to brown, a minute or two. Serve hot or at room temperature.

SHAVED ASPARAGUS WITH ARUGULA AND PARMESAN
You can get asparagus from Peru all winter long, and early spring asparagus from Mexico and Southern California. This is not a dish to make with those. It celebrates your local, regional asparagus, whenever it shows up in your local farmers' market, after months of apples, potatoes and sturdy greens. Simply shaved, then dressed with oil and paired with arugula and Parmesan, it makes for a spring salad of enormous satisfaction.

Steps:
- Snap off and discard the tough ends of the asparagus. Using a mandolin, sharp vegetable peeler or thin-bladed knife, slice the asparagus lengthwise into paper-thin ribbons.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and olive oil to make a dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper
- Place the asparagus ribbons in a shallow salad bowl. Season lightly with salt and pepper and coat with half the dressing. Add the arugula, tossing gently to distribute the asparagus. Drizzle with the remaining dressing.
- With a vegetable peeler, shave thin curls of Parmesan over the salad. Accompany with a platter of sliced prosciutto, if desired.

Tips:
- Choose the right asparagus. Look for spears that are firm and have tightly closed tips. Avoid any spears that are limp or have yellow or brown spots.
- Roast the asparagus properly. The key to getting perfectly roasted asparagus is to cook it at a high temperature until it is slightly charred and tender. Overcrowding the pan will prevent the asparagus from roasting evenly, so be sure to use a large baking sheet or roasting pan.
- Make sure the asparagus is shaved thinly. This will help it cook evenly and will also make it easier to eat. You can use a sharp knife or a mandoline to shave the asparagus.
- Use a good quality Parmesan cheese. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese will give the dish the best flavor. If you don't have Parmesan cheese, you can use another hard cheese, such as Asiago or Romano.
- Don't overcook the breadcrumbs. The breadcrumbs should be golden brown and crispy, but not burnt. Keep an eye on them while they are cooking and remove them from the oven as soon as they are done.
- Serve the asparagus immediately. This dish is best served hot out of the oven. You can garnish it with a squeeze of lemon juice and some freshly chopped parsley.
Conclusion:
Wood-Roasted Shaved Asparagus with Parmesan Breadcrumbs and Lemon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a spring or summer meal. The roasted asparagus is tender and slightly charred, the Parmesan breadcrumbs are crispy and flavorful, and the lemon adds a bright and refreshing touch. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
