Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lemon
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the asparagus under cool water to remove any dirt or grit. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Trim the asparagus by snapping off the woody ends. This will be about 1-2 inches from the base of each spear.
Place the asparagus spears in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil over the asparagus, ensuring each spear is lightly coated.
Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder evenly over the asparagus.
Using your hands or tongs, gently toss the asparagus on the baking sheet to ensure even coating of oil and seasonings.
Slice the lemon in half and squeeze juice from one half over the asparagus. Reserve the other half for serving.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the spears, until they are tender and the tips begin to crisp.
Remove from the oven and squeeze the remaining lemon half over the asparagus before serving.
