Wash and trim the woody ends of the asparagus spears. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Place the asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Drizzle the olive oil over the asparagus, ensuring the spears are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the asparagus.
Use your hands or tongs to toss the asparagus, making sure the seasonings and oil are well distributed.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the asparagus is crispy-tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove the asparagus from the oven, and squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the roasted spears for a fresh burst of flavor.
Serve warm as a delightful keto-friendly side dish.
