Lemon Feta Roasted Asparagus

There are so many things I love about the spring but one of them is how garden's start to come back to life.  Asparagus season will be upon us soon so I thought I would post a great recipe my family enjoys.
With this recipe, you can either put the lemon feta on the asparagus part way through roasting so that it melts and gets a little crisp or you can sprinkle it on right before serving.  It tastes great both ways.  If you like a little spice, you can add about a 1/4 tsp of pepper flakes to the feta mix.

A fun fact: Asparagus is one of the few food you can eat with your fingers in front of the Queen.
