Ingredients
- 1 pound Fresh asparagus
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

- 4 Lemon wedges (for serving, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash the asparagus under running water. Snap off the tough ends by bending each stalk until it naturally breaks.
Step 3
Arrange the asparagus in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
Step 4
Drizzle the olive oil over the asparagus and toss to coat them evenly.
Step 5
Sprinkle the minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano over the coated asparagus.
Step 6
Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until tender and the tips begin to turn crispy.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and, if desired, sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese.
Step 8
Serve immediately with optional lemon wedges for added brightness.
