Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Grate zest of lemon into a small bowl; stir in oil and garlic. Cut ends off lemon and discard. Slice lemon into thin rounds. Toss together asparagus, lemon slices, and oil mixture on a large rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss to evenly coat. Spread out in an even layer on baking sheet. Bake asparagus 8 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, mash together butter and cheese in a small bowl until combined.

Step 3

Remove baking sheet from oven. Spoon butter mixture evenly over asparagus. Toss using tongs until evenly coated and mixture forms creamy sauce; spread in an even layer. Return asparagus to oven and bake until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer asparagus to a serving platter. Spoon butter mixture from baking sheet over asparagus. Sprinkle with herbs.
