Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Asparagus
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 each Lemon (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the asparagus under cold water to clean, then pat dry with a paper towel.
Trim the tough ends of the asparagus spears by bending each spear near the base until it naturally snaps or by cutting off approximately 1 to 2 inches from the bottom.
Place the trimmed asparagus on a baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil, ensuring all spears are lightly coated.
Sprinkle the asparagus with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder evenly.
Use your hands to toss the asparagus, ensuring the seasonings and oil coat each spear thoroughly.
Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender yet still crisp, and lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and, if desired, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the asparagus before serving.
Serve immediately as a flavorful, low-carb side dish.
