Ingredients
- 1 pound Asparagus
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 each Lemon (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Rinse the asparagus under cold water to clean, then pat dry with a paper towel.
Step 3
Trim the tough ends of the asparagus spears by bending each spear near the base until it naturally snaps or by cutting off approximately 1 to 2 inches from the bottom.
Step 4
Place the trimmed asparagus on a baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil, ensuring all spears are lightly coated.
Step 5
Sprinkle the asparagus with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder evenly.
Step 6
Use your hands to toss the asparagus, ensuring the seasonings and oil coat each spear thoroughly.
Step 7
Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender yet still crisp, and lightly browned.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and, if desired, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the asparagus before serving.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a flavorful, low-carb side dish.
