Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash the asparagus and trim the tough ends by snapping or cutting them off.
Arrange the asparagus in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
Drizzle the asparagus with olive oil, ensuring that they are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the asparagus with salt and black pepper.
If using garlic, mince the cloves finely and scatter them over the asparagus.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 12-15 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and slightly browned.

Once the asparagus is out of the oven, squeeze fresh lemon juice over it and sprinkle with lemon zest and chopped dill.
Serve the roasted asparagus hot or at room temperature as a side dish for your favorite main course.
