Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound fresh asparagus (woody ends trimmed)
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • lemon (juiced)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Snap off (or cut off) and discard the woody ends of the asparagus.
  • On the baking sheet, toss the asparagus spears with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Then arrange them in a flat, even layer.
  • Bake for 7 to 12 minutes (less time for thinner spears, more time for thicker spears), until the spears are tender.
  • Transfer the roasted asparagus to a serving platter and squeeze fresh lemon juice on top.
