Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 medium lemon
- 2 small cloves garlic cloves
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash the asparagus thoroughly under cold water. Trim the tough ends of the asparagus by gently bending each stalk until it naturally snaps. Discard the woody ends.
Step 3
Place the trimmed asparagus on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat them evenly.
Step 4
Sprinkle the sea salt and freshly ground black pepper over the asparagus. Toss again to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Step 5
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves. Scatter the garlic slices over the asparagus for added flavor.
Step 6
Zest the lemon using a fine grater, sprinkling the zest directly over the asparagus. Reserve the lemon for later use.
Step 7
Spread the asparagus in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
Step 8
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the asparagus are tender and slightly crispy at the tips.
Step 9
Once roasted, remove the asparagus from the oven and squeeze the reserved lemon over them for a refreshing touch.
Step 10
Serve hot as a delightful side dish that complements any main course, or enjoy as a healthy snack.
