Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash the asparagus thoroughly under cold water and trim the woody ends, about 1 inch from the bottom.
Lay the asparagus spears in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the asparagus.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper evenly over the asparagus.
Toss the asparagus with your hands or a pair of tongs to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning.
Spread the asparagus back into a single layer on the baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 12-15 minutes, or until the asparagus are tender and lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with additional lemon wedges or fresh herbs such as parsley or dill.
