- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon onion powder

- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the asparagus under cold water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Trim the woody ends of the asparagus by bending each stalk until it naturally snaps.
Place the asparagus on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Drizzle the olive oil over the asparagus and toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper over the asparagus, and toss again to ensure even distribution of the seasonings.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving platter.
