1 pound asparagus, trimmed
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic
4 ounces creamy feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
salt and pepper

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Heat olive oil, red pepper flakes and garlic in a skillet over medium heat. Discard garlic once brown.
3. Add the lemon zest and juice to the oil, then add the asparagus and toss to coat.

5. Bake until asparagus is just tender and feta starts to brown, about 15 minutes.
6. Season with salt and pepper before serving.
