Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
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.
Place the trimmed asparagus on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat them evenly.
Sprinkle the sea salt and freshly ground black pepper over the asparagus. Toss again to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves. Scatter the garlic slices over the asparagus for added flavor.
Zest the lemon using a fine grater, sprinkling the zest directly over the asparagus. Reserve the lemon for later use.
Spread the asparagus in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
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.
Once roasted, remove the asparagus from the oven and squeeze the reserved lemon over them for a refreshing touch.
Serve hot as a delightful side dish that complements any main course, or enjoy as a healthy snack.
