Season the Asparagus
Drizzle the olive oil over the asparagus, then sprinkle with sea salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Toss to coat evenly.

Prepare the Fouée
While the asparagus is roasting, warm the fouée in the oven for the last 5 minutes of the asparagus cooking time, just until they are warm and slightly toasted.
