- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 lemon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and trim the woody ends of the asparagus spears. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.

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.

Serve warm as a delightful keto-friendly side dish.
