Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash the asparagus thoroughly under cold water. Trim the woody ends of the asparagus (about 1-2 inches from the bottom).
Place the trimmed asparagus in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle olive oil over the asparagus, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Use your hands or tongs to gently toss the asparagus until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Spread the asparagus back into a single layer to ensure even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the asparagus are tender and the tips are slightly crispy.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh lemon juice for added zest and brightness.
Serve immediately as a delicious, sugar-free side dish.
