Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 whole lemon (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus by snapping or cutting about 1-2 inches from the bottom of each stalk.
Step 3
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves or crush them into small pieces.
Step 4
Place the asparagus on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Step 5
Drizzle the olive oil over the asparagus and sprinkle evenly with minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands or tongs to toss the asparagus to ensure it is evenly coated.
Step 6
Spread the asparagus back into a single layer, making sure they are not overlapping to allow even roasting.
Step 7
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 12-15 minutes, until the asparagus is tender and slightly caramelized at the tips.
Step 8
Remove the asparagus from the oven and transfer to a serving dish.
Step 9
If desired, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the roasted asparagus for added brightness and flavor before serving.
