Number Of Ingredients 5

1 bunch(es) asparagus, fresh
1 tablespoon(s) olive oil
1 clove(s) garlic
1 medium lemon
- salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Rinse the asparagus well and cut off the tough bottoms.
  • Place the asparagus on a baking sheet lined with foil and drizzle with olive oil. Finely mince the clove of garlic and zest the lemon. Sprinkle salt and freshly ground pepper over the asparagus, add the garlic and half of the lemon zest.
  • Toss everything with your hands until everything is coated in oil and seasoning. Spread the asparagus out so they are in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  • Place the asparagus in the oven. After ten minutes in the oven, use a spatula to stir the asparagus and then roast for ten more minutes. After twenty minutes total, the asparagus should be tender and even a little crispy on the tips.
  • When the asparagus come out of the oven, sprinkle the remaining fresh lemon zest and just a little lemon juice. Serve at once.
